The entries have all been handed in and now comes the hard part! Judges at each branch will choose 1 winner from each of the three age groups:

• up to 6 years
• 7 to 9 years
• 10 to 13 years

From the almost 300 winning entries 16 bookmarks are chosen for publication. There are 4 Elizabeth Cleaver Winners and 12 Grand Award Winners.

At a special award celebration, winners  receive a book prize and 100 copies of their bookmark. The library distributes the winning bookmarks to the public during 2010.

Winners will be announced in January.
