Edible Book Contest

Mount Laurel Library is proud to announce our third annual Edible Book Contest to be held on Sunday, September 30th from 12-3 p.m. at the Mount Laurel Library.

All are invited to use a love of literature and the culinary arts to create an edible book.  The creation can look like a book, allude to a book’s title, refer to a book’s content, or even involve a witty book pun. 

Participants should register their entry by September 28 by calling the library or visiting the library’s online Events Calendar.  On the day of the contest, entries should be dropped off between 12 - 12:45 p.m.  A reception and voting on the entries will take place between 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., and the winners will be announced at 3 p.m.  Prizes will be awarded for the following categories:  

Crowd Favorite
Most Creative Concept/Original Idea
Most Likely to Be Devoured/Tastiest Looking
Children 12 & Under

Not interested in creating an entry, but eager to be part of the fun?  Come enjoy the reception and viewing of entries, and vote for your favorite.  Light refreshments will be served.
