SLUGGISH?

With food risk, often comes food reward.  Anyone that has ever consumed a plate of escargot has taken a food risk.  Face it… eating snails seems anything but normal.  But the culinary reward is worth it. This next Call for Entries is financially a little risk, but the prize awards could make it all worthwhile.  Carefully investigate is my recommendation…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Celeste Network for the Celeste Prize 2011 and exhibit at The Invisible Dog in Brooklyn, NY.  The entry fee is expensive and the media is limited, but the prize potential is HUGE.  Take a chance…
