Unlock Your World Competition
Books have the power to unlock new ideas, new adventures, and new possibilities.
That’s why our theme for this term is Unlock Your World – encouraging Duffy students across Aotearoa to explore their imagination, share their experiences, and tell the stories that matter to them.
To celebrate, we’re inviting students to enter our Unlock Your World Competition for the chance to win one of three amazing prizes.
What Story Will You Tell?
We want to hear about the world that makes you unique.
Your story can be about:
The World Around You
Tell us about your family, friends, school, community, favourite place, or the things you enjoy most in everyday life.
The World You Dream Of
Let your imagination run wild. Create a future adventure, an exciting invention, a magical place, or a world you’ve always dreamed of exploring.
The World Inside You
Share your thoughts, feelings, talents, passions, hopes, or the things that make you who you are.
There are no right or wrong answers. We simply want to hear your story.
Amazing Prizes to Be Won
Three lucky students will each win a fantastic Mid Sleeper Bunk Bed, valued at approximately $800.
One winner will be selected from each age category:
- Ages 5–6 years
- Ages 7–9 years
- Ages 10–12 years
Duffy Books in Homes will cover the shipping costs for all prize winners.
How to Enter
Entering is easy.
Simply write your story based on one of the three competition themes and complete the official entry form included in the Book Offer 3 catalogue.
The catalogue contains all the information you need, including competition details and how to submit your entry.
Entries must be received by Friday 25 September.
The three lucky winners will be notified during the first week of Term 4.
Why Storytelling Matters
Every great reader has a story to tell.
Storytelling helps build confidence, creativity, communication skills, and imagination. It encourages children to think deeply about their experiences, explore new ideas, and discover the power of their own voice.
At Duffy Books in Homes, we believe every child has a story worth sharing.
Ready to Unlock Your World?
Whether your story is funny, adventurous, heartfelt, imaginative, or inspiring, we want to read it.
Start writing, start creating, and start imagining.
We can’t wait to discover the incredible worlds that Duffy students across Aotearoa choose to share.
Good luck!
