As Banned Books Week gets underway, a reminder to booksellers that the American Booksellers Association is holding the Banned Books Display Instagram Contest. The bookstore with the best display will win $300, and two runners-up will each receive $100. (The ABA suggests the winnings be divided among staff who helped create the display or used for a staff party.)
Displays should feature books that have been banned and be clearly labeled "Banned Books Week" or "Banned Books." Judging criteria includes visual presentation, creativity and originality, Banned Books Week messaging. Bonus points for humor, use of color(s), education and advocacy regarding banned books.
Bookstore Instagram accounts have until October 11, the end of Banned Books Week, to share one post (photo/reel/photo carousel), tag @AmericanBooksellers and @ABFEFreeExpression and use #BannedBooksDisplayContest and #BannedBooksWeek in the caption to be entered to win.
