Gibraltar Cultural Services (GCS), on behalf of the Ministry of Culture and in conjunction with
Dyslexia Gibraltar, will hold a Bookmark Competition as part of the 2026 Autumn Cultural
Programme.
Participants are invited to design bookmarks that capture the 2026 theme below:
Different Minds, Brilliant Minds celebrates the unique ways we think, learn, and see the world.
Every mind works differently.
Dyslexic thinking brings creativity, imagination, and new perspectives that help solve problems
in exciting and innovative ways.
By recognising and valuing differences, we create a more inclusive world where everyone’s
strengths can shine.
When we embrace how each mind works, we unlock brilliance.
The competition is open to adults and children who are residents of Gibraltar. Participants may
submit up to three original works.
There will be four categories as follows:
• A. School Years 3 to 6
• B. School Years 7 to 10
• C. School Years 11 to 13
• D. Adult Category (18+)
The Overall Winner will receive the Ministry of Culture prize of £500 and a trophy. Additionally, the
winner in each category will receive a prize of £100 and a trophy.
The Winning Bookmark will be gifted to all attending this year’s Gibraltar Literary Festival.
