We asked students to redesign the cover of any book on Reading Australia, and they rose to the challenge with enthusiasm, sending in entries that demonstrated both creativity and keen understanding of their chosen books.

We selected the best five entries as our prizewinners – scroll down to see the winning entries below. Each student has won a $100 Booktopia voucher and in doing so has also won a $100 Booktopia voucher for their school library. Congratulations to all!

This competition was run in partnership with the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) and was shared by librarians around the country.
