Edible Books
What is Edible Books?
This offbeat competition was started in 1999 by Judith A. Hoffberg and has since become an international event featured on radio, television, and newspapers. All works must be edible and have something to do with books: look like a book, include text to read, or illustrate a theme taken from a book or book title.
When is University Library's Edible Books?
University Library's Edible Books takes place during National Library Week in April each year.
Winners are selected in the following categories:
- Best in Show: overall best presentation of food
- Most Creative Interpretation: overall best interpretation of a book title or cover
- Best Student Entry: favorite entry from student submissions
How can I participate?
Look for the submission from in Spring 2027!
