Past entries have included such edible titles as Green Eggs and Ham, In Cold Blood, The Very Hungry Catepillar, and To Kill a Mockingbird among other literary greats.

As in year's past, entries will be judged according to such categories as "Most Delicious," "Most Hilarious," "Most Creative," "Most Deadly," and "Most Literary." An award for the "Best Student Entry" will be awarded with the winner receiving a $25 gift card to the UC Bookstore.
