2021 Edible Book Contest: Home

How to participate:

Create a work made out of edible materials that’s inspired by a book (or other literary work) in content or shape. Puns on titles are highly encouraged. 

Individual and group entries are encouraged. Teams can be no more than two people.

Entries must be composed primarily of edible materials (75% or more). Toothpicks and minimal use of food wrappers are allowed. Food not in edible form, such as dry rice or orange peels, may also be used.

While your entry must be composed of edible materials, it does not have to actually be appetizing! Entries will not be judged on taste.

• One photo must be of you with your edible book entry.
• Submit one or more photos of your entry without you.

A panel of judges will pick first and second place winners in the following categories

• Most Creative Use of Ingredients
• Best Pun/Play on Words
• Best Depiction of a Book or a Character from a Book.

Check back on the library page on April 22 and April 23 to vote for the People's Choice.  Prizes will be awarded to the winners.
