We want everyone involved in Library Week so this year we
have 4 different competitions on offer and there is something for everyone!

Are you a great illustrator? Then why not enter the Graphic Novel competition, this one has two age categories so there are no excuses for not entering! The guest cartoonist/judge for the graphic novel is the 2009 winner Jason Winter.

We’re asking everyone who loves their library to make a short video and load it up and get your friends and family voting!

Our Interactive Book competition is just for school kids in years 6, 7 and 8. Help create a nationwide story and win book prizes for yourself and your school library! The story is begun by well known NZ short story writer, an author of young adult fiction and children's book author Kate De Goldie.

Our Te Reo Writing competition for ages 10 to 14, Whakataetae Tuhituhi, starts Maori Language week with one winner per week. The Te Reo interactive story is started by well known Te Reo children’s author, Peti Nohotima.

We will be launching the Whakataetae Tuhituhi, Graphic Novel & Video Competitions on Monday 26th July and the Interactive Story starts on Monday 16th August.
