Scribblers Festival is an annual festival of literature and arts for young people, brought to life by cultural non-profit
FORM with the support of our amazing
Partners across Western Australia. With programming just for
Schools, a free weekend for the whole
Family, and mini-events throughout the year, Scribblers Festival invites young people and the young at heart to
celebrate the magic of storytelling.
The Festival brings together authors, illustrators and other storytellers from Perth, across Australia, and around the world to empower and engage young readers through interactive sessions and workshops. In the lead up to the Festival, over 15,000 feather-shaped bookmarks are scattered throughout public libraries across Western Australia, with five rare Golden Feathers waiting to be found by lucky young readers as part of the annual
Golden Feather Hunt.
We encourage young writers to put their ideas on to paper for a chance to win a
The Golden Pen Writing Award, and let teens take the mic to create podcasts that are broadcast around the world from our very own
Conversation Caravan.
Sound like fun? Don’t miss any of the action!
