It's time to leave your own mark with a bookmark for our Hillsborough Reads Bookmark Contest! 🎨📖

We are inviting HCPS educators and students in all grades to design a colorful 2.5" x 7" bookmark that captures the theme "Get Caught Reading" for a chance to have their artwork professionally printed and shared across our schools.

Students can ask their school's media specialist for a copy of the bookmark contest guidelines and must submit their entries to their school's art teacher by EOD on Friday, Oct. 31. Winners will be announced in December! 

For more details or the official entry form, visit https://bit.ly/hillsreadsbookmark.
