That's right folks, we have 50 sets of the OBP 2021 shortlist to give away!
But before you do anything else, we have a question for you: where would you read the shortlist with the children? Would you recreate the Himalayas? Sit at the end of a home-made rainbow? Find some cuddly, snuggly animal friends of your own? Or just lay in the spring grass in the sunshine?
Wherever it would be, hold that thought - because to be in with a chance of receiving a set for your school or nursery setting, please ensure you have done the following by 5pm on Wednesday 5th May:
1. Complete the Google form to enter
2. Post a photo on social media of your choice (Facebook, Twitter or Instagram) showing where you would read the shortlist with your children if you received them. Please tag us in the photo! @oscarsbookprize #OBP21
The winning schools will be notified at the start of May, and books will be with the winners shortly afterwards. If your school or nursery setting is selected, please post a picture of the shortlist in your chosen location!
To accompany the giveaway - and even for those who don't win - our wonderful friends at CLPE will be producing a reading guide for each shortlisted book. We will share this inspirational resource in early May, so please check back here, or follow our social media, for more news.
In the meantime, if you would like more information on the books please check our news page in the coming weeks, when we will have some very special insight from the books' brilliant authors and illustrators. You can also read more about the books on the excellent National Literacy Trust's Words for Life website.
If you can't wait for the competition to close to get your hands on a set, the books are available from all bookstores or to borrow from libraries, and of course to buy from Amazon on their dedicated page www.amazon.co.uk/obp
Good luck everyone! We can't wait to see where you would read these treasures!
The smallprint:
Please note that dates are subject to change.
All entries must be received by 5pm on Wednesday 5th May.
We can provide one set per chosen setting/school only. Sadly we cannot replace any sets that go missing or are damaged en route.
