UK primary schools are invited to take part in the Baillie Gifford Design a Book Cover competition. The competition theme is designed to bring out what children are interested in and what stimulates their imagination and curiosity. The overall concept of the book cover can be completely individual to each pupil or the concept can be based on a topic that they are currently studying.

There are two entry categories: P1-P3 and P4-P7. The winning designs from each category will be reproduced and displayed at the 2013 Edinburgh International Book Festival, which takes place from 10 to 27 August 2013.

The deadline for entries is Monday 1 July 2013
