Open to youth in grades K-12 who attend school and/or reside in St. John Parish, this contest aims to celebrate National Library Week, books, art, food, and culture.

CONTEST RULES
1. The dessert must be made from edible materials.

2. Each edible creation must be a representation of a favorite fictional or nonfictional literary work (edible books can look like a
book in form and shape, be inspired by a book or author, can be a pun of a book title, can refer to a book character, reproduce a book cover, or have something to do with books in general).

3. All entries must be family-friendly. The judges reserve the right to reject any entries deemed inappropriate or offensive.

4. A photo of the book cover must accompany all entries.

AWARDS
• Best in Show: This edible book has it all: creativity, polish, and
flare.
• Funniest/Punniest: The edible book entry will most likely put a smile on your face! Clever, humorous, or super-silly, it makes your stomach roar with laughter and rumbles with delight.
• People’s Choice: The general public will vote on their favorite
edible book
