How To Win An Art Contest In One Easy Step

    Make one.
    Tom Polo created the 2009 B.E.S.T. Contemporary Art Prize for Painting contest. The criteria were typical of the art contests we know. Except for one small point, which stated:
    eligible entrants are artists born on the 1st February, 1985 and named as 'Tommaso Polo' on their birth certificates.
    The exhibition of the finalists (guess who?) is taking place at the MOP gallery in Sydney.
    The winning work, by - you guessed it - Tom Polo, is called Continuous One Liners (Young People Today).Possibly many of my dear readers are thinking, we've had similar ideas, but they were too childish to execute. Maybe the most seductive part of tricksters is that by putting to life the silliness we only imagine (or think we imagined), they at once make it more serious and much more ridiculous.
    You can find an interview with the artist at The Art Life.
    Why B.E.S.T.? Because Everybody Still Tries.
