Challenge Details
Oxford Big Read Global celebrates literacy by encouraging reading and extending the enjoyment of favorite books by offering students a campaign with awards and prizes. Students select a book of their choice from a list provided, complete a project according to one of three age-specific categories, and submit their project through their school or institution.
Oxford Big Read Global provides an opportunity for teachers to engage students in reading through a local and regional competition. Details on how schools and institutions can participate are available through local participating Oxford University Press branch offices.
There are two levels of the competition: a country-wide campaign in participating countries through local OUP branch offices, and a global campaign across all participating countries. All winning entries of the local branch campaign will be submitted for the global campaign. The regional campaign will then select one winner and one runner-up in each category of the regional campaign.
