IN THE DOG HOUSE

The first food that I truly remember eating was a hot dog topped with American cheese.  I was around three years old, and it was called an “Angel Riding Horseback.”  Priceless.  It came from a restaurant in the Clearwater, Florida area that specialized in hot dogs.  Hundreds of hot dogs.  If anyone can tell me the name, I’d be thrilled to know.  This next call has nothing to do with hotdogs, but you do have to be 40 to enter (or a member of The Haggus Society).  And against my better judgement, I am willing to publicly admit that I am drawing close to my 40th birthday.  It makes me reminisce… about food.  Ridiculous? Certainly. Deal with it.

Check out this Call for Entries from The Haggus Society for Edges & Curves at The Glass Studio in Highland Park, CA. The entry fee is only $12 for 6 images; however, there are age restrictions. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note:  This is a reminder because I love this show, and in the interest of full disclosure, I am a Hag in good standing.  Plus, The Haggus Society is an official sponsor of this site as evidenced by the ad in the right sidebar.  I love Hags, and I can admit it.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Edges & Curves

Edges & Curves, Nothing In Between attempts to bust the myth that the older creative has lost her or his edge.

In a youth oriented society, the conventional wisdom is that the younger artist is the risk taker and rule breaker. And while those who would follow conventional wisdom believe we soften as we get older, there are those who actually hone their edges to craft a message with more bite and risk because of their station in life.

ELIGIBILITY: This event is open to any artist 40 years and older.

MEDIA: 2D (no larger than 32″ x 44″) or small 3D (no larger than 14″ x 10″ x 8″)

DEADLINE: Midnight September 1, 2011

NOTIFICATION: Artist email notification September 10, 2011

$12 submission fee for 6 images
