Chatham University’s third annual celebration of the International Edible Books Festival was a great success! Thanks to all who participated and dropped by to try these fabulous books.
We are also very grateful to our fabulous judges for making the very difficult decision of determining the winners for all prizes except Most Popular Vote: Wenying Xu, Alice Julier, Dave Hassenzahl, and Rachel Grove Rohrbaugh.
Photos from the event can be found on the library’s Facebook page.
Without further ado, the prizewinning books were:
Award: Most Sustainable
Winner: Dan Nolting for Leaves of Grass
Award: Most Creative Literary Interpretation
Winner: Mary Whitney for Melting Glaciers
Award: Most Creative Ingredients/Use of Ingredients
Winner: Hillary Hassenzahl for Phantom Tollbooth
Award: Most Popular Vote
Winner: Cindy Kerr for Twilight
Award: Grand Prize
Winner: Amy Lee Heinlen for A Separate Peace
Several of us librarians were also incredibly taken with the effort and beautiful display of a series of Dr. Seuss books. This display also came in a very close second for the Most Popular Vote contest, so we’re awarding them an Honorable Mention!
Honorable Mention: Tiffany Waltenbaugh, Tess Scibilia, & Lorraine Yanjtovich for five Dr. Seuss books
