Just what is an Edible Book Contest (aka an Edible Book Festival)? Edible book contests are about being creative with books and food. Entries can look like, poke fun, interpret, or highlight a book or element of a book. Entries can be sweet, savory, salty, bitter...anything! You can see images from our Newman Library pilot program in 2011 on the Newman Library Flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vtnewmanlibrary/sets/72157627279496995/. Many libraries host similar events and you can find other examples on the web.
If you would like to enter the contest, keep reading! The details are below.
Even if you do not want to enter the contest, we encourage everyone to come out for the event, since awards will be based on attendee votes! Voting will open at 2pm and close at 3:30pm, with awards given out around 3:45.
