News: Scottish Book Trust invites youngsters to design new Read, Write, Count bag
Posted 17 Jan, 2023 by Jennifer Drummond
Pupils in Primary 1-Primary 3 are invited to submit a design for the new Read, Write, Count bags as part of an exciting art competition run by the literacy charity.
Each year, Scottish Book Trust distributes more than 120,000 bags of books and fun learning materials to every P2 and P3 child in Scotland.
The 2023 bags will be fully recyclable, made from 40% recycled materials and produced in a factory that uses 100% renewable energy.
To celebrate these new bags, children from P1-P3 are invited to submit a design that represents looking after and loving the planet. Entries will be judged by an expert panel including bestselling author and illustrator Vivian French.
The winning design will be printed on all new Read, Write, Count bags gifted during Book Week Scotland in November.
The winner will also receive an artist’s goodie bag and their class will receive a book donation for their library. The second and third placed entries will also win a selection of books for their school.
Entries can be submitted by teachers or parents/carers, and must be received by Thursday 23 February. The winner will be revealed in March.
