Edible Books Contest

Edible Books Contest In-Person

Edible Books Contest – All Ages:  Tuesday, August 5 from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM

Get creative with food and literature!  Create something with food to represent a book: you could create a broccoli forest for Where the Wild Things Are, or bake an Elephant and Piggie cake for the Elephant and Piggie books.  Or perhaps you’re a fan of Moby Dick – you could decorate a whale-shaped cookie.  The only two guidelines are that your entry be made of food and related somehow to books.

Kids can create an entry by themselves; kids can team up with friends to create an entry; or a family can work together on an entry.

Entries will be displayed in the story room for the day of August 5; drop off your entry when the library opens at 10:00, and pick your entry up when the contest ends at 6:00 (or by 8:00 at the latest, which is when the library closes). 

Voting is via Google Forms; voting link will be shared on the library's website the day of the event.  Online voting will stay open for a week!  Voting will decide the winner for each category – winners get bragging rights and an awesome 1st place ribbon!
