Win £5,000 for your schoolOur big prize draw is back for a seventh year!

You could win £5,000/€5,000 of National Book Tokens for your school's library – and if your entry is picked, you'll also get £100/€120 of National Book Tokens to spend on yourself!

Whether you work in a school or have school-aged children yourself, you'll know the importance of a good school library – and not just for learning. Studies show that reading for pleasure doesn't just give children an advantage academically; it can improve their wellbeing, too.

The English teachers at last year's winning school, Haverfordwest High VC School, were able to use their prize to buy lots of new books from their local independent children's bookshop:

"Such wonderful news! We are delighted to have won National Book Tokens for our school library. Knowing we have supportive parents who took the time to nominate us is wonderful and reaffirms the work we do to encourage a love of reading amongst our pupils. We are very excited to purchase new books for the library. Thank you."

Our prize draw has now closed. Thank you to everyone who nominated a school. We will contact the winning entrant and announce the winning school shortly.

Will it be your school's turn this year?

Teachers, school staff and parents can all enter – the more nominations your school receives, the higher their chances of winning – so spread the word! Download banners for social media here.
