Awards include the most coveted Mediocre Award (for the entry that finishes right in the middle) and the highly prized Next-to-Last Award (for the entry that almost came in last) and serious art and engineering prizes.

~ Guidance about how to build a kinetic sculpture
~ One of the most interesting rules: PERSONAL SECURITY RULE
"Each Sculpture must carry at all times 1 comforting item of psychological luxury heretofore referred to as the “Homemade Sock Creature” (HSC). Homemade Sock Creature must be made in a home, from a not-too-recently-worn sock from the home, and resemble a creature homemade from a sock."

Now *this* is different...it is also amusing and just plain fun, as the competition's creators intended, I'm sure.
Love the Mediocre Award, the Next-to-Last Award, and the HSC.
BTW, my favorites: Go Ask Alice and the Lobe Trotters.
