PEACEFUL PLASTIC THEME CONTEST - December 2017

PEACEFUL PLASTIC

THEME CONTEST

Every October, some people in Sweden award their Peace Prize. They've done this 130 times so far.  This December, some people in Brooklyn will award their one and (probably) only Peaceful Plastic Prize.  You can win this rare and prestigious Prize by following one simple rule: NO WEAPONS.  The entry can be any time, any subject, any scale.  Think Thunderbird not Thunderbolt, Tug Boat not U Boat, Friendship 7 not the Magnificent 7.  So, from now until December, the only weapons you should be thinking about are glue guns and hobby knives. 

In December 1914, soldiers fighting in France left their trenches for what became known as The Christmas Truce. BPMS remembers that event with our December theme, Peaceful Plastic. The rules are very simple: no weapons. Think Car, not Armored Car, Field Kitchen not Field Gun, Cruise Ship, not Battleship, Lufthansa, not Luftwaffe. You get the idea. But if you don't, go to:

So drop the weapon and pick up that unarmed kit you know you have in your stash. You may never get the Nobel Peace Prize but you could get the BPMS Peaceful Plastic Prize.
