Welcome to Book Fair Takeover

School of the Year Award

The Book Fair Takeover School of the Year Award is presented annually to recognise the ingenuity, energy and commitment students put into Book Fair Takeover and to celebrate their successful Book Fair.

Enter for your chance to win:
  • £500 worth of children’s books

To enter, share with us what made your Book Fair a success. Was it working as a team, making new friends, creating the perfect poster, or something else? You can be as creative with your submission as you like – simply pick one of the following ways to enter:

1. Tweet us photos or a video about your Book Fair. Tag us @scholasticuk and use the hashtag #bookfairtakeover. Please note if you do not tag us, or if your account is set to private, we will not be able to view your entry and it will not be entered into the competition.

2. Email us photos, a video, a PowerPoint presentation, a blog or however you’d like to tell your Book Fair story. Send us your entry to sbfcompetitions@scholastic.co.uk . Make sure to include your school’s name, the name of the teacher or librarian running the Book Fair and any extra details you’d like us to know about your Fair.

You do not need to have strictly followed the structure of creating CVs, holding interviews and having specific jobs to enter – the most important thing is that students have taken an active role in their Book Fair.

The closing date for entries is 31st July 2023.

Any questions? Call us for free on 0800 212 281 or email enquiries@travellingbooks.co.uk .


If your entry features any photos of pupils, you must obtain parental permission before you submit your entry and confirm in communications with us. Entries may be shared on Scholastic or Travelling Books’ social media channels, appear on Scholastic or Travelling Books’ website or appear in future Book Fair Takeover resources.
