Calling all independent booksellers! Have you signed up for your Wellcome Book Prize POS kit? We are offering a £1000 prize for the best Wellcome Book Prize window display!
Our Wellcome Book Prize kit this year includes our new range of 'incurably curious' point of sale materials celebrating the 2015 shorlist. This curious box of goodies includes stickers, bookmarks, posters and very special Wellcome Book Prize/Books Are My Bag tote bags. We hope you can make use of these in your store and we look forward to seeing your imaginative window displays exploring our 'books for the incurably curious' theme.
As an added incentive, we are offering a £1000 prize for the best independent retailer's Wellcome Book Prize window display. Your window should be your own creative interpretation of the 'incurably curious' theme. Last year's competition was won by The Book Hive in Norwich.
Email bookprize@wellcome.ac.uk with snaps of your 'incurably curious' window displays before the winner announcement is made on 29 April 2015. You can also tweet your window to @wellcomebkprize using #curiouswindow. The winning curious window will be announced in early May 2015 and will be judged by Wellcome Book Prize judge and bestselling author Mark Haddon and Wellcome Collection's Ken Arnold.
Please also email bookprize@wellcome.ac.uk to request more POS material or if you have any questions about Wellcome Book Prize. We'd love to hear from you.
Have fun creating your curious windows and good luck!
