Please join us September 30, 2011 on the second floor of the Rogalski Center. Event Hours: 11 am – 2 pm Entry Drop-Off: Between 7:30 – 11 am People’s Choice Voting: 11 am – 1:30 pm Awards Ceremony: 1:30 pm

The basic idea is to select a book title from a provided list of banned books and create an artistic rendering of the title. The catch is, you have to use food! The materials used must be edible but not necessarily palatable.

Edible Book Entry 2011

Three simple rules:

1. Entries must be made of food (edible).

2. Entries must be reflective of your chosen title in some manner (e.g., shape, content, title, appearance, etc.).

3. You MUST select a title of a book that has been banned or challenged. Failure to do so will result in disqualification. Lists of banned books are available by clicking on links provided on the right hand side of this page or by consulting printed lists at the Library’s Reference Desk.

The entries will by judged by two methods:

1) A panel of judges comprised of members of the SAU community will select best entry in each of the following categories: Most “Punny”, Most Artistic, Best Team Entry, Best Student/Individual Entry.

2) Participants and visitors will vote for their favorite overall entries. The entry with the most votes will win the People’s Choice category. (Scroll down for examples!!)

Feel free to create something on your own or with your friends.

Our festivities will include not only edible books but refreshments you will actually want to consume. For more information or to participate in this year’s festival please contact: Leslie Ross Ferm, Reference Librarian, RossFermLeslieM@sau.edu; 563-333-6472.
