*Grand Prize Winner*
The Strand is the oldest and largest bookstore in New York, and my personal favorite bookstore in the world. Every year they organise a contest to create a design for the famous tote bags they sell in store. The theme this year was "Reading is my religion".
I am so incredibly honoured to have won the Grand Prize for it, and have my design sold on the bags sold in the store!
