PAPER BIRD PRESENTS
The 2024 Book Nook Competition
Yes, it’s true! We’re running Paper Bird’s popular Book Nook Competition again.
A Book Nook is a miniature scene, designed to slot in between books on a shelf to create the illusion another world exists just between the shelves. You’re invited to dream up a Book Nook of your own creation. Perhaps it could be a look into your favourite scene from your favourite book, or your favourite place to read?
Read on for all of the details, then start making!
The design details:
Your Book Nook should be no larger than 240mm (H) x 100mm (W) x 190mm (D). It should be enclosed on all sides (save the front, of course) to make sure it fits properly on our shelves.
We have kits available to help you create the frame for your Book Nook. Purchase yours here.
The entry details:
There are five age groups for entry:
Little Ones (0 – 5)
Junior Fiction (5 – 8)
Middle Fiction (9 – 14)
Young Adult (14 – 17)
Adult (18 & above)
Plus the People’s Choice Award! The People’s Choice award is selected from among all of the entries. People’s Choice will be decided by vote, with the public invited to vote over the dates of the exhibition.
All entries are due by 5PM Friday 9 February 2024.
The prize details:
All age categories go in the draw to win a $50 Paper Bird Voucher. The People’s Choice Winner (all ages) will win a $100 Paper Bird Voucher.
The exhibition:
The Book Nook Exhibition will run from Saturday 17 February 2024 – Saturday 16 March 2024.
There will be a Grand Opening at 2:00PM on Saturday 17 February, to announce the winners of each category.
Important T&Cs:
Please no kits. They are beautiful, but this competition is designed to showcase creations from your own imagination!
All Book Nooks must be collected by Friday 28 March 2024. Unfortunately we do not have the space to keep them all.
If your Book Nook incorporates lights, they must be battery operated. It is the responsibility of the Book Nook artist to make sure the batteries are replaced when needed – you are always welcome to pop by and perform small Book Nook maintenance.
We do our best to protect each Book Nook, however in the event your Book Nook is damaged, we cannot be held responsible or liable for damage.
Please note that if your Book Nook is selected as a winner, Paper Bird will display it for the period of a year.
