CASH for PUPPIES

When someone parts with their hard-earned cash, you can consider their purchase a compliment in the highest regard.  Ultimately, I cannot trust my first food sales because I suspect my puppy dog eyes were a bigger factor than the taste of my lemonade.  But many years later, my husband Jon and I were proud to sell gourmet hotdogs in a little downtown store front.  The poodle (a turkey dog with feta and red-wine cucumber relish) remains my proudest culinary sale.   This next call could result in the sale of your artwork, a high compliment that could leave you with extra dough for hot dogs!

Check out this Call for Entries from Dave Bown Projects for their 2nd SemiAnnual Competition.  This is your chance to win one of seven $1000 cash awards PLUS the chance to sell your work.  There are no media restrictions… so no excuses!
