Join the Challenge
Introducing the first Festival Reading and Activity Challenge on Beanstack!
Read festival books, attend events, and earn chances to win. The 2026 Festival of Literary Diversity Reading and Activity Challenge invites readers to engage with festival titles and participate in both virtual and in-person events for the chance to collect tickets for our first prize drawing.
The more you read and take part, the more tickets you can earn. Then choose how to play: put all your tickets toward one prize you really want, or spread them across multiple prizes for more chances to win.
Prize options include a 2027 Festival of Literary Diversity pass and hotel stay, a Kobo Libra Colour, a TIFF Membership, FOLD merchandise gift cards, and more.
Whether you’re joining us online, showing up in person, or building your festival reading list in advance, the Festival Reading and Activity Challenge is a fun way to celebrate great books, discover new authors, and make your festival experience even more rewarding.
Join us on Beanstack and register for the challenge today for the chance to win amazing prizes.
