The Ezra Jack Keats Bookmaking Competition is open to city teachers of students in grades 3–12. This annual project promotes the literary and artistic talents of students who design, write and assemble their own books. Students may not use any form of AI to create or refine text or images. Student citywide winners receive a $600 cash prize and borough winners receive $200. Educators for the city, borough and honorable mention winners receive gift certificates to purchase art supplies for their classrooms. All students and educators receive certificates of commendation. Celebrations include an award ceremony and exhibition of winning books at the Brooklyn Public Library. A project handbook, tutorials, criteria and submission instructions are available at the competition’s website.
