‘Australia’s Favourite Bookshop’ competition kicks off this weekend

12 July 2013 Books+Publishing

A national search for Australia’s Favourite Bookshop will officially kick off tomorrow, 13 July, ahead of this year’s National Bookshop Day on 10 August.

The competition is one of a number of promotions being run by the Australian Booksellers Association (ABA) to support National Bookshop Day. Members of the public are invited to vote for their favourite bookshop on the ABA website, with everyone who votes going into the draw to win $500 worth of Australian Book Vouchers. Voting will run until 5 August and the winning bookshop will be announced on National Bookshop Day.

The competition is being promoted by Australia’s Favourite Bookshop ambassador Markus Zusak, who has recorded a short video asking book lovers to vote for their favourite bookshop. Bookshops can also access DIY point-of-sale material from the ABA, as well as a QR code that allows people to vote in the competition via their mobile devices.
