The festival, which will return this spring, is inviting students to create and submit bookmarks based on their favorite books. The deadline to submit is 4 p.m. on Friday, March 13.

Hosted by The Learning Lamp, the 17th annual festival connects children and families with bestselling and critically acclaimed authors, illustrators, and storytellers. 

All bookmarks submitted to the contest will be showcased during the festival, which takes place from March 28 to 29 at Bottle Works Ethnic Arts Center in Johnstown’s Cambria City neighborhood.

The contest is open to children in preschool through sixth grade, including home-schooled students. Winners will receive a prize package that features a personal library of books.

Festival attendees will cast votes to determine the winners - which can include teachers. By submitting bookmarks from their class, educators can win a classroom set of books. 

The age divisions will include:

  • Pre-k and kindergarten

  • Grades 1 and 2

  • Grades 3 and 4

  • Grades 5 and 6
