The Duct Tape Art Contest!

Attention novice, amateur, and professional duct tapers:
It gives me great pleasure to announce the first ever Duct Tape, Dixie, and Me Duct Tape Art Contest! That’s right, as of this moment, you have two weeks to submit your favorite work of sculpture, craft, or art of any medium made with duct tape for a chance to win and reign as duct tape master craftsperson. The contest is officially open NOW, so break out your favorite color(s) of duct tape and make it happen!

How To Enter:
E-mail one picture of your duct tape art submission to me at lblogger@ninetyandnine.com.

Deadline:
Midnight August 25, 2006. No late entries will be accepted.

Guidelines:
+ Art of any form/theme is welcome, but let’s keep it clean, kids.

+ The surface of the object must be covered in at least 50% duct tape. (This to head off those of you who would just slap a 2” strip of duct tape on Michelangelo’s David, snap a pic, and send it my way.)

+ Limit three entries per person.

+ A panel of 3 judges to be named later will select winners, and the contest results will be posted for all the world to enjoy.

Criteria for Judging:
50% - Technical merit for use of duct tape
50% - Creativity/original idea and artistic expression/theme

Prizes:
The Grand Prize Winner and the Runner-up will receive Ninetyandnine t-shirts, not to mention the honor of a special feature on the blog.

Let the games begin!
