Ketchup Art, Squared

The Heinz Ketchup Creativity Contest allows students in 1st through 12th grade to design a ketchup packet, with the chance that it will be printed on millions of tiny packets and filled with sweet, tomatoey goodness.

For whatever reason, 11 of the 12 winners were from either Miami, FL or New York - except this gem by Trevon Sladek, a 3rd grader from Orono Intermediate in Long Lake, MN.



I think my Mom should have her students do this while she is at home recovering from knee surgery for the next few weeks :(

You never know, some crazy artist might use one a few of those ketchup packets as paint?



Update: Heinz is all over the consumer-generated bandwagon - TopThisTV.com launched today.

• Is that the same guy that does the random sand "paintings" for Quest, turning a butterfly into a car into a bicycle, and then into a crab? All of which have a lot to do with Quest of course.

• No, but I'm glad you asked since I've wondered about those commercials. They are done by a 55 year old woman from Isreal, and are apparently "one continuous shot without any visual edits or special effects" (via)
  
  My question for you is, did you ever re-read the comments for this post to see if me (or anyone) answered your question?
