Would you like to read and eat your book?
Literacy Volunteers of Atlanta (LVA) and the Southeast Chapter of the Guild of Book Workers are sponsoring the 6th Annual Edible Book Festival, Saturday, March 28, 2009, beginning at 3 pm. Culinary and educational organizations, restaurants, artists, bibliophiles, and the general public are all invited to compete or attend.
Here’s how to participate: Create a piece of edible art related to books - old or new - fiction, non-fiction, plays or poetry. Adults and children can enter. The adult creations will be exhibited at the gallery of the Art Institute of Atlanta-Decatur Campus and the children’s edible art will be displayed at The Cook’s Warehouse & Sherlock’s Wine Merchant in Decatur.
The Edible Book Festival is a benefit for Literacy Volunteers of Atlanta and entries and registration fees will be accepted in four categories: • Professionals $25 • Culinary Student $15 • Home Chef $ 5 • Child (K-6th ) $5
The entries can promote anything related to books: a scene or character from a book, play, short story, comics, or poem; a book cover; or a book’s structure. All the ingredients must be entirely edible. The deadline for registration is Friday, March 20, 2009.
