• Must be inspired by a book.
• Should be entirely edible with the exception of toothpicks, food wrappers, or other minimal decorations. 
• Should not require refrigeration. Entries will be displayed for 2-3 hours.
• Entries will not be eaten, so while they must be edible, they do not have to be appetizing! Entries will not be judged on taste. 

Registration
