If you're looking for a rainy-day (weekend?) project... there are two days left to submit entries to the Coney Island USA "Put on a Funny Mask Contest."
Here's some info via the contest page:
Coney Island USA, the not-for-profit arts organization that presents the Mermaid Parade and many other programs, have announced that they have created the "Put on a Funny Face Mask Design Contest" — the world's first COVID-19 mask design competition. The online contest will honor the creative efforts of mask makers from around the world.
The contest, which is presented by Spectrum News NY1, will be judged by celebrities from Coney Island and beyond.
Awards will be presented in a wide range of fun categories — with the top category being Best Overall Mask. There is also a special People's Choice category. The general public will have a chance to vote for the People's Choice via an online form that will go live when the entry period for the contest ends on
Memorial Day. Winners are expected to be announced on or about June 1.
Entries are due on Memorial Day. Find details here.
