The Bookmark Showcase is back, and we can’t wait to see what you create! This annual event invites artists of all ages to design a bookmark, with top picks in each category becoming our shop’s signature bookmarks.

From bold colors to detailed sketches, every design tells a story—and we’d love to share yours. Digital art is welcome, but no AI-generated designs, please.

Submit Your Design

Create a rectangular bookmark and drop it off at the shop, mail it, send it in, or design one in-store.
Deadline: Thursday, April 23

Vote for Your Favorites

Stop by between April 25–May 3 to cast your vote.

Whether you’re submitting or just stopping in to vote, we’d love to have you be part of it.
