Rules and Guidelines for Creating an Edible Book
- Edible Books must be composed primarily of edible materials (toothpicks and other structural elements are allowed).
- Individuals or groups may register to create a sculpture.
- Make sure the Edible Book is brought in fully or close to fully-assembled as there will be little time for assembly on location.
- Entries should not require refrigeration (for example, ice and ice cream).
- We encourage you to bring a copy of the book which inspired your creation so that we can display them side-by-side.
