If you’ve always wanted to build your own Trojan Horse, book a ticket to California and take part in the upcoming Trojan Horse Tournament. Cash prizes, enduring fame, and favor from the gods for the winners!
The contest announcement reads:
The Millard Sheets Center for the Arts located at Fairplex, Pomona, California, is seeking three artist teams from the greater Los Angeles area to compete against one another to create a 3-dimensional, modern-day interpretation of the Trojan Horse. This public art opportunity is in conjunction with the exhibition at the Millard Sheets Center for the Arts, HOOFPRINTS: The Horse in Art, Legend, and Action.
The Tournament will take place in front of the fair-going audience of more than 1.5 million from September 5-28, 2008. Fairplex is committed to sustainability and the Tournament Trojan Horses will be constructed from the Fair´s materials stockpile, which has been accumulating since the early 1920s Stockpile Photo Library. This resource is truly a Trojan´s trove!
