(Charleston, IL) -- Eastern Illinois University's Booth Library is sponsoring its 11th annual Edible Book Festival as part of National Library Week. For the second year, this year’s festival will be a week-long virtual event.
Instead of bringing an edible book entry to Booth Library, participants can submit photos of their pieces for an online gallery and voting process. Submissions will be accepted through Friday, April 2, at 4 p.m. Voting will open at noon on Monday, April 5, and close at 5 p.m. Thursday, April 8. Winners will be announced on Friday, April 9.
To enter or for more information, visit https://eiu.libguides.com/ediblebooks2021. The three entries that receive the most votes will receive prizes.
Anyone may enter a work made out of edible materials that has something to do with books in either its shape or content. To view entries from previous Edible Book Festivals, visit https://thekeep.eiu.edu/edible_book_festivals/.
