More about the Art's Birthday Real and Surreal Cake Comeptition

Here's the scoop:

Everyone is welcome to arrive at the party with a cake. It can take any form -- 2D or 3D (or 4D!) -- and can be made out of anything! The only thing we ask is that entrants provide a list of ingredients so we can determine if the cake is actually edible ;-)

Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:

• The Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod Body Break Award – for the cake most likely to contain vitamins or beneficial nutrients
• The Stanley Cup – for the cake with the ‘smoothest’ icing
• The Bell Canada Titanium Timbit – for the cake project most likely to receive Canada Council funding
• The Darwin Award – for the most primordial cake reflecting art’s humble origins 100,000,045 years ago.
• The Blizzard Award – for the cake most likely to have been purchased at a St. Vital Dairy Queen
• The Istvan Kantor Li’l Debbie Log d’Or – for the cake that provokes the most intense reaction in the genital region

The cakes will be judged by a panel of experts. This year's judges will be Morley Walker (Winnipeg Free Press), John Kendle (Uptown Magazine) and Tracy Koga (Shaw TV).

Judging will take place between 9:00 - 10:00 p.m. and prizes will be awarded at 10:30 p.m., so please make sure you arrive with your cake before 9:00 p.m. =-)
