Entry Deadline Alert !!!!!
For Initial
1St Annual “Mouthy” Awards
Would like to thank the 25+ of you, including several entries who had this contest forwarded to them, for submitting your comments and taking the time to name/title my new piece of art. Where are the rest of you? As mentioned in my announcement of this contest, I accept all opinions and views, regardless of your political persuasion, and the jury in the selection process for “best” entry, shall remain neutral and shall render their decision totally as it relates to the art you were presented. Acknowledge that there is a physical “reward/award” to be gained, but most important, is that we all get our views, opinions and feelings out there and are provided with a venue to do so.
In setting up this contest and doing the art, which is ongoing, I unfortunately forgot to put limitations on the time an entry can be received and evaluated. My error, and most, I realize it is hard for me to admit, I made mistake. The deadline for all to enter and have a shot at receiving the first “ Mouthy” award is midnight August 31, for on September 1 we must revel in and acknowledge my nephew’s Tim’s birthday.
The initial winner may take a week or two to be announced, as have any of us ever tried to get a Protestant, Catholic, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Atheist, Black,Whiite, Asian, Latino/Hispanic, Democrat, Republican, Independent or a guy trying to get the Salvation Army to give him a bus ticket home so he can attend his mother’s funeral, but a decision shall be rendered and I hope you will pause a moment and evaluate why they may have been most deserving of the award. Again, it is not about what is best for our personal egoism, but is what is best for all of us to have the most endearing and prosperous times on this earth.
As an artist, I may be considered as a low life, living on others successes to provide me with my daily substances of life. If that was true, I would have been dead years ago. I only try to have individuals look within themselves, through my art, and find their happiness and selfhood in this life. I am not a God, but can only relate to a simple resonance, “go for it girl, if you believe”.
Please remember there is a deadline and many don’t like to have constrictions placed upon them. That is your problem! Unless you participate in life, keep your yap shut and live with the consequences.
Voice who is you or allow those about you to have a say. Is that not better than having all the irrevolent spam sent to you to buy a prothetic limb you don’t need.
