This page is dedicated to providing the details for the first ever Blackboard Meat Sculpture contest. The contest is open to anyone and has no entry fee. For this contest, all entries must be created in the likeness of Albert Einstein and composed entirely of raw meat.

There are no specifics as to what type of meat must be used. Hamburger, cold cuts, spam, deviled ham, or chicken livers; its up to you to use your artistic license and create a masterpiece.

"Mixed Meatia" is also acceptable, meaning that you can combine two or more types of meat to compose your sculpture. Additional details are provided below!

Why Albert Einstein?

Okay! Here’s how I decided to choose the subject of the meat sculpture competition: I typed in the word “famous” into google search and the first image was of Albert Einstien. So he’s the subject.

Why Meat?

I dunno, just because I thought it was funny. Besides when you think about it, we're all composed of meat, right? So technically, meat as a medium should be very natural.

The Rules:

The sculpture may be created through either additive or subtractive methods, but must be composed entirely of meat.

• The meat may be raw, cooked, or a combination thereof.

• The sculpture may be free standing, or built flat (such as a wall relief) as long as it can be determined that the piece shows form and depth.

• Subject HAS to be Albert Einstein. Reference photos are provided at the bottom of this page, but any other reference to him is also permissible.

• All photos must be submitted to me at contact@madhauscreative.com by Oct. 10th, 2005.

• All photos must be accompanied by the following info: media (meat type), title, artist name

• Entries will be posted without identification to try and keep this from becoming a popularity contest.

• Winner will be chosen by tallied votes from the Blackboard on Oct. 31, 2005, with the results being posted on Nov. 2nd.

• Enter as many times as you like, but please, only vote once. We're not American Idol here, so if you send me craploads of emails, I may get really nasty and find you. And you don't really want your nose rubbed in a bunch of your own email do you?!

The Prize:

The winner of the contest will be awarded the book "Have You Ever" by Bret Nicholaus and Paul Lowrie. I will even autograph it for you since I am probably the coolest guy that any of you know.

Okay, now you know all of the stipulations and facts, so c'mon people, lets get to playin' with your meat.
