I couldn't resist posting this. I'd love for one of my readers to win!
ARBITRARY ART GRANT
Vital 5 Productions and Artists for a Work Free America
The spring and summer of 2009 will reveal twelve $500.00 Arbitrary Art Grants in a variety of mediums, such as music, dance, writing, fashion design, architecture, photography, painting and many more. These twelve grants will culminate at this year’s Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle in a Vital 5 Produced exhibit entitled DADA ECONOMICS.
To kick off this series of seemingly absurd grants, we are going to give $500.00 to one person who builds a sculpture inside of a steel grocery cart, created only from the store's inventory. Build it, photograph it, and email a picture to: info@vital5productions.com before May 15th, 2009. On May 30th, a winner will be selected, called and given $500.00 cash. There is no application or judge, and I promise the winner will be selected in a completely random manner.
This grant is open to people of all ages, of all skill levels, in all countries. All you need is a grocery store and a camera. If you don't have a digital camera or an email address, take a real picture and mail it to: Vital 5 Productions, POB 23385, Seattle, WA 98102. Only one entry will be allowed per person, and all entries will be displayed in the DADA ECONOMICS exhibit this September.

This sounds very cool. I’m going to have a think about ways of entering. Thanks for the heads up on it.
