This contest is designed to bring out the artistic best in everybody. Anyone of any age, either male or female is encouraged to turn an ordinary pile of mashed potatoes into a work of art! Best of all, there is no registration fee and no deadline to enter.

Entrants may choose to bring materials such as feathers and buttons to embellish their sculptures. No paint of any kind is allowed. Thickening or hardening agents may also be used, these must be provided by the participant. Sculptures will be judged on visual appeal and innovative use of materials.
