World Book Day creative competition launches for children in Milton Keynes

With the country in lockdown and everybody stuck at home, Bargain Max are encouraging families to get creative and craft their own version of their favourite fictitious hero for World Book Day.

Using whatever resources are available at home and any art or craft of your choosing children, up to the age of 16, are being asked to design their own version of their favourite book character.

Homemade crafty creations should be submitted via Facebook or Instagram for the chance to win one of five prizes, a £100.00 Bargain Max gift voucher is the top award.

The competition closing date is February 17 at 23:59 PM, which will be followed by a shortlisting stage before the five winners are finally chosen.

Examples for how you might want to bring your favourite literary characters to life include: using lego to build Hogwarts with Harry Potter centre stage, or use tin foil found in your kitchen to create the Tinman from Wizard of Oz.

A spokesperson for Bargain Max said: “We have launched an amazing nationwide competition to make World Book Day 2021 extra special for children across the UK who cannot celebrate at school. We know how hard families are working to keep their children entertained during this lockdown and families right across the country are coming together to put children’s education first.

"The competition is open to children aged up to the ages of 16 years, but we please ask that it is the parent or guardian who enters their children's creations via Facebook or Instagram. Very best of luck to everyone and we are looking forward to seeing all your crafty creations!”
