| Hey, kids, show us what it's like 'In Your Own Shoes' for contest - Times Union Posted: 22 Oct 2010 09:01 PM PDT The Times Union and the Albany Institute of History & Art are teaming up to give kids a chance to express themselves and win great prizes. Inspired by the exhibition "Perfect Fit," which opens Saturday, we're asking kids to express themselves by designing their own art shoes and writing about them. What are art shoes? Check out the photo with this story, or check out the exhibition at the Albany Institute. We're inviting Capital Region students from elementary school through high school to express themselves artistically by creating works of visual art based on footwear for a contest we're calling "In Your Own Shoes." Entries can be funny, whimsical, dramatic, realistic or topical, but they should tell a story of some kind, in keeping with the theme of "The Perfect Fit" exhibition. Each entry -- which can be either two- or three-dimensional -- must also include a brief artist statement (no more than 50 words) that explains how the artwork expresses whatever the artist is trying to express. A panel of judges assembled by the Albany Institute will evaluate entries based on creativity and the artist statement. Prizes will include a gift certificate from the Times Union, a feature on the winners and their artwork in the newspaper and online, and a gift certificate from the Albany Institute, plus other prizes. The deadline is Nov. 5, so get cracking on creating shoes that can be a "Perfect Fit" to your self-expression. The details Entries: One piece of artwork may be submitted per student, either a two-dimensional one that shows the side view and front view of a pair of shoes (8 1/2 by 11 inches maximum) or three-dimensional (12 by 12 by 12 inches maximum), and one brief artist statement (no more than 50 words). Artist age, location: Entrants must be elementary, middle or high school age and live in the Capital Region (Albany, Saratoga, Schenectady and Rensselaer counties). Required info: Each entry must include the artist's name, age, grade, school, home telephone number, name of artwork and the 50-word (or less) artist statement. (Failure to include this information will disqualify the entry.) How to submit: Entries may be submitted by mail, e-mail (two-dimensional work only) or in person. Mail: Artwork and required information can be mailed to Times Union In Your Own Shoes Contest, Features Department, P.O. Box 15000, Albany, NY 12212. E-mail: Images of two-dimensional artwork and the required information can be sent via e-mail to youtharts@timesunion.com. Please include the words "In Your Own Shoes contest" and the name of the artist in the subject line. (Images of three-dimensional artwork, such as photos of shoes, will not be accepted.) In person: Artwork and the required information can be dropped off during normal business hours at the Times Union, 645 Albany Shaker Road, Colonie. Deadline: All entries must be at the Times Union by 5 p.m. Nov. 5 Winners: Once judging is complete and depending on the number of entries, winners will selected in one of three age categories -- elementary, middle and high school -- and in one of two genres -- two-dimensional and three-dimensional. Winners will be notified by phone to come to the Times Union to have their photographs taken for a story to be published later. Notes: Images of all artwork may appear in print and online. All artwork will become the property of the Times Union and won't be returned, unless the entry explicitly states that the artist or his or her family member will come to the Times Union to pick up the artwork after the winners are announced in print. Entries submitted on CD or disk will not be accepted. The contest is not open to employees or family members of the Times Union or the Albany Institute. Questions: If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call Arts & Entertainment Editor Michael Janairo at 454-5629 or e-mail youtharts@timesunion.com.

| Elton Brand Gives Back To Local Philly Kids Along With Converse - Bleacherreport.com Posted: 20 Oct 2010 07:20 AM PDT  Elton Brand throws up the tip during a pick up game at the Converse Open Gym Philly Event.On October 16th, in Philadelphia, Elton Brand gave back to the community. The exclusive event took place at Girard college in Philadelphia. Elton Brand and Converse are slated to introduce Elton's third shoe, the EB3. The kids who attended the event were kids who frequently attended the Open Gym Philly over the last year. Converse has hosted the Open Gym since 2007 for thousands of youths. It is free and open to the public. The age group of the kids ranged from 12-18 and there were over 150 kids in attendance. The kids were lucky enough to get to participate in Converse's special event where they got to play a little basketball, receive Converse gear and even meet Elton Brand himself. Elton Brand handed out his signature shoe as he spoke with the kids in attendance. Elton also took to the court as a monitor of sorts, going around to all the children as they played. He also thanked every child personally for coming out to the event. The EB3 is Elton's third shoe with Converse. It is being advertised as an affordable alternative as it retails for $65 in adult sizes and $50 dollars for kids. Converse has chosen to partner with JCPenney and the shoe is currently available exclusively at JCPenney's across the country. Examples like these show the type of character that a player like Elton has. Of course, some critics have had some unsavory opinions about him since his signing with the Sixers, but no one can say that he is not a good guy, and this is just one example of that.
