Well, here's what's happening this weekend in the UK...
|
|
|
|
"The Cerealogist magazine is promoting a contest for making crop circles, to
|
|
be held the night of 11-12 July 1992. The object is to reveal the extent to
|
|
which artificial circles can replicate the details of the elaborately swirled
|
|
crop formations which for the last twelve years have been appearing in the
|
|
fields of cereals and other crops in England and elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
"This initiative is prompted by the recent, much publicized but largely
|
|
unsubstantiated claims that hoaxers are responsible for many of the
|
|
formations. It is hoped that those who have made such claims will be prepared
|
|
to demonstrate their skills in public.
|
|
|
|
"A first prize of $5200 and runner-up awards are offered for the artifical
|
|
crop formation, made by a registered team, which in the opinion of qualified
|
|
judges best reproduce the features observed at crop circle sites. The team
|
|
will be required to execute a design to be specified by the organizers and
|
|
will be judged the following morning by judges who will not know the identity
|
|
of the contestants.
|
|
|
|
"A field of barley has been set aside for the purpose of the competition and
|
|
is now under cultivation at a site in southern England which will be known
|
|
only to those organizing and taking part in the competition. After the event,
|
|
the site will be disclosed and the public will be invited to view the results
|
|
of the contest.
|
|
|
|
Teams of circle makers, with or without previous experience, are invited to
|
|
apply for entry to this contest. Conditions and other details from: THE
|
|
CEREALOGIST, The British & International Journal for Crop Circle Studies, 11
|
|
Powis Gardens, London W11 1JG. Telephone: 071-229-3583
|
|
|
|
"The number of entrants will be limited to about 12, and each team to no more
|
|
than 6 members. A 50(Pound) entrance fee is required from each participating
|
|
team which will go towards compensating the farmer. There will be provision
|
|
for parking and overnight camping.
|
|
|
|
"Sponsored by PM Magazine(Germany) and the Koestler Foundation in association
|
|
with the Environmental Guardian."
