BCPD Trust in collaboration with Purbachal Book Club and event sponsor e-WorldWide Group launched their 2024 Book Reading Competition
BCPD Trust in collaboration with Purbachal Book Club and event sponsor e-WorldWide Group has launched their 2024 competition to promote book reading amongst young people aged between 6 to 18. This is following the success of their last two book reading competitions and you can follow link to read about the 2023 Competition and Awards Ceremony.
The aim of this competition is to encourage young people into book reading and to help them improve their communication and presentation skills.
The funding was awarded by e-WorldWide Group (eWWG) an international organization, focusing on science, technology and innovation, ethical applications of technology for inclusive and sustainable development and cyber-safety. Visit eWWG website for more information.
Contestants can read any book of their choice and make a short video between 1 to 3 minutes long summarising and presenting the book. The videos can be created using any mobile phone or digital camera device and our aim is to consider the quality of the presentation rather than the quality of the video production. Applicants are encouraged to use their creative talent to present their chosen book.
Our panel of judges will be looking for creativity, interest, and their understanding of the book. Dr Nazia Khanum OBE DL from Purbachal Book Club has kindly agreed to be the Chair of the judging panel again this year and will select a group of judges to review each entry.
