Fire up your imagination - let's get creative!

Mason Libraries’ Edible Book Festival is going Virtual! The Festival features creative food projects inspired by books and stories. Edible books can physically resemble books, or they can refer to an aspect of a story, or they can incorporate text. 

The Festival runs March 26 - April 1, 2021. Entry deadline is March 26 - anyone can participate. Virtual Edible Book Festival entries will be posted on infoguides.gmu.edu/edible on March 29 +30. View them - and then vote for your choice in each prize category on Selection Day, March 31. Anyone can vote!  Winners will be announced at Noon, April 1.

Entry Rules 

• Your virtual edible book must be “bookish” through the integration of text, literary inspiration or, quite simply, the form.
• You must only use food products to create your masterpiece, but the completed artwork does NOT need to be edible.
