Attention all Pabst Blue Ribbon drinkers and artists (these are not mutually exclusive groups). Get your paintbrushes, pens, cameras and chisels ready for the Pabst Blue Ribbon Third Annual "PB-Arts Contest." The contest seeks PBR drinkers to create works of art inspired by the historic can. Artwork will be accepted in four categories -- photography, painting, sculpture and, a new category for this year, poetry. PBR will select one grand prize winner and one runner-up in each category. The final day to submit art entries is Jan. 31. Not only does the winner receive fabulous prizes, the winning art work is displayed in cities across the United States in various ways, such as murals, published in alternative weeklies, displayed on bus benches or as store displays. You might have even seen this year's art work around Seattle at places such as the Buckaroo Tavern at 4201 Fremont Ave. N, or at Norms Eatery & Alehouse at 460 N 36th St. or perhaps at Lucky's Chopper's at 5813 Airport Way South. There will be new locations for the 2009 winners to be announced in February. Grand prize winners also receive $1,893 in cash -- symbolic to the year 1893 when PBR won the famous blue ribbon -- and a one-year supply of brew. The runners-up in each category will receive one-third of the grand prize: $631 in cash and a four-month supply of Pabst. For further submission and contest details, visit www.pabstblueribbon.com.
