There will be three prizes: 1) $300 to the best entry in the 18 and Over category, 2) $100 to the best entry in the Under 18 category, and 3) $100 to the entry in either category deemed “funniest”.
The public is asked to vote in each contest between October 25 and October 30. We ask that you use the following criteria for your vote: a) creativity b) skill c) visual appeal and d) tie to the designated book.
