Hello everyone

The Banner Art Collective announces winner of Buy Nothing Day contest.

The Banner Art Collective's Buy Nothing Day contest received 15 
banners from artists in France, the UK, and the US. Thanks to all 
artists for a great and varied group of entries.

Many entries were strong, so contest officials almost decided to 
split the grand prize of $0 (USD) between several entries.  
Ultimately, though, the grand prize was awarded to Zebra3's 
"buy-sell(f) nothing," a banner which subverts the textuality of 
corporate logos to good effect.  Zebra3's banner will be featured on 
the Banner Art Collective's front page (http://www.bannerart.org/) 
through the holiday buying season.

Buy Nothing Day (November 29th in the US and Canada, November 30th in 
Europe and elsewhere) is an annual international event held to 
protest the unoffical opening day of holiday shopping.  It is 
organized by the Adbusters Media Foundation 
(http://www.adbusters.com/). Now in its eleventh year, Buy Nothing 
Day is a 24-hour consumer fast and celebration of sustainable living. 
Over one million people around the world are expected to participate.

As always, the Banner Art Collective (http://www.bannerart.org/) 
continues to collect new entries for its ongoing banner art 
collection.  From November 29 through February 4, the site will be 
included in the Edith-Russ Site for Media Art exhibition "Total 
=DCberzogen" (http://www.oldenburg.de/edith-russ-haus/) in Oldenburg, 
Germany.  The group plans to stage several banner art "happenings" 
within commercial advertising space in early 2003.
