Bookmark Project 2023
Read more ...
The Bookmark Project auction is back for its seventh year. We bring together wonderfully unique bookmarks doodled by a wide range of authors, illustrators, artists, actors and others with over 500 lots for you to choose from.
The Bookmark Project is the brainchild of Sharon Hattersley and 1st Burley Brownies and all money raised goes to the primary school they support in Zimbabwe - Katiyo Sacred Heart Primary School. We are currently raising money to build and equip nursery classrooms at the school.
Last year the auction raised £14,000 for the school and we would love to match or even beat that this year.
We post bookmarks anywhere in the world, all our bookmarks are posted based on the bidding value so we may contact you about extra postage depending on what your bookmark sells for or where you are in the world.
Behind the scenes it is mainly just Sharon, who has a full time job as well as volunteering with the Brownies so please be patient if it takes us time to get back to you or if we make a mistake.
Please do not bid if you don't intend to pay
And finally a hue thank you for supporting our little project whether this is your first time visiting our site or you are a Bookmark Project veteran.

When bidding on an auction item, if you enter more than the minimum increment for an item then your bid will be used for proxy bidding. This is how it works:
1. You enter the absolute maximum that you are willing to bid for an item.
2. jumblebee places a bid on your behalf, using the minimum amount required to make you the highest bidder, i.e. current bid price plus bid increment OR the reserve price, if there is one and it can be covered by your proxy bid.
3. jumblebee continues to bid on your behalf, whenever you are outbid by another member's bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded or the auction is won.
4. jumblebee will notify you by email if your maximum bid is outbid by another member and provided the auction is still running, you will then have a chance to enter a new maximum bid if you wish.
For example:
The current bid on an auction item is £100. The minimum increment is £10. You enter a bid of £150 (your maximum bid).
Using your bid, but increasing only by the minimum increment, jumblebee sets the current bid to £110.
Another person bids £130 but they are immediately outbid by jumblebee bidding on your behalf and the current bid goes up to £140.
The auction finishes and you have won the auction item at a price of £140.
