The entries are rolling in for the Houston Press Clay Aiken Art Contest. You can vote for your favorite in the comments section following this blog. Now we are using the word "contest" in a loose, completely general way. We haven't figured out what the prize might be, although we do know our budget: zero. Some fans have suggested that we do a nice cover story on Clay, talking about all the great charity work that he does. Ah, no. Ditto getting Clay to sign the piece of winning art, to kiss the winning artist, or anything else that involves Clay, the newspaper or money.

We're still taking art entries. And we're still taking suggestions for the prize. Remember zero budget. Zero, zip, nada. No Clay, no paper, no money. Other than that, go crazy.
