EXHIBIT GUIDELINES

FABULOUS FOOD ART CONTEST

Remember when your parents told you not to play with your food? Well, this year the ASSET Awards Committee gives you permission to play to your heart’s content. Whether it is used as a subject or as an art medium, let food be your artistic inspiration!

Enter the 2011 ASSET Awards Fabulous Food Art Contest. The field is wide open, options are endless – drawings, paintings, sculpture, jewelry, posters, mosaics // abstract, cubism, expressionism, impressionism, pointillism, pop art, postimpressionism, primitivism, realism, surrealism. Need more inspiration, check out the photos of food artwork at http://webecoist.com/2008/12/15/food-artists-and-sculptors/.
