Shire of Augusta Margaret River

Get ready, book explorers! From March to 8 May 2026, the Golden Feather Hunt is swooping back into libraries across WA, and it’s going to be bigger, better and more feather-tastic than ever!

What is the Golden Feather Hunt?

It is a magical treasure hunt where YOU get to be the hero! All you have to do is visit your local library, check out a book, and start flipping through the pages. Hidden inside, you might just find a special feather-shaped bookmark. But these aren’t just any feathers. They are your ticket to amazing prizes!

What Feathers Will You Discover?

Plain Feather: Decorate it, post a photo tagging @scribblersfest, and enter the weekly draw to win a book!

Emerald Feather: Find one in your library and win an instant book prize!

Silver Feather: Only 20 libraries have these! Win a signed book.

Golden Feather: The rarest of all! Win a Scribblers book pack and an e-reader.

The competition is for Western Australian children and young people aged up to 18 years.

Entries close 8 May 2026
