HOW TO PLAY
From Saturday 14 November to Friday 21 December:
Download and print the bingo card. It is a 3 x 3 grid (= 9 different bookshops to give love to).
Complete your bingo card by visiting bookshops in person, using “click and collect”, or ordering online. (PRO TIP: Find bookshops via https://www.booksellers.org.au/find-a-bookshop)
Share your visit or purchase on social media, tagging the bookshop and using the hashtag #VicBookshopBingo
It’s that easy!
When you’ve completed your card…
Email a picture of the card to info@cityofliterature.com.au with your social media account handle to be in the running for $200 of books from your favourite bookshop! Closes Monday, December 21st!
FAQs
I live interstate. Can I still take part?
Yes, you can take part in this Victorian initiative if you buy online from Vic bookshops. Of course, we’d really like you to support your own local bookshops, too…
Do visits made prior to the 14 November 2020 count?
Sadly, no.
Does it have to be nine different bookshops?
If you can! We want to make sure as many of Victoria’s bookshops as possible feel the love.
I’m not on social media. Can I still take part?
Yes, of course! We suggest you leave a positive Google review for the bookshop instead.
I don’t have access to a printer. Do I really need to print the bingo card?
You can mark-up the PDF instead! All we ask is you keep a record of the shops you’ve given love to.
How many books is too many books?
Sorry, we don’t understand that question.
