The event will take place in Cape Town on Saturday 20 September 2025, 9am - 9pm.

Writers, illustrators and designers are encouraged to apply and use their creative superpowers to work together, make new books, and change the world!

This is a volunteer-based event, and no one gets paid for their participation on the day: the books are our gift to the world!

Watch the video below to see why our volunteers love Book Dash.
