2020 YA SLP: Grand Prize Winners!

 

Teen "Nailed It!" Contest: All Entries Revealed - WINNER ANNOUNCED!

Welcome to our first-ever Teen "Nailed It!" contest! 🎂

 

Teens attended an online Watch Party on July 8 to see what the baking competition is all about--then dived straight into our virtual library version!  


Contestants had a little over four weeks to recreate the official recipe at home, fitting in with the Summer Library Program's fantasy theme: a dragon cake!  This summer the "taste" category is off the table (😭), so this year's judges--the entire Bellevue Public Library staff--will be evaluating all entries for:

  • creativity
  • presentation
  • and who "nailed it" the most!

(Please note: contestants were not asked to include the mossy cobblestone platform in their creations.)


One winner will be announced and awarded the week of August 17-21--so be sure to check back here to see which entry gets the glorious and honorable contest crown stamp

 

 👑 Contest Grand Prize: $50 gift card and a bag of SLP swag! 









Sixteen contestants entered fourteen impressive dragon cakes--and you can now see all of them  below! 🐉
