Red Bull gives you art.

Red Bull is promoting the innovative reuse of its cans by sponsoring a 2006 nationwide search for artwork " made from the slim containers.

Selected works will be displayed in one of three public exhibitions this fall in Atlanta, Dallas and Minneapolis. A grand prize winner will be selected in each city and awarded an all-expense-paid trip for two to Art Basel, a modern and contemporary art fair in Basel, Switzerland.

The first U.S. Red Bull Art of the Can contest was in Boston in 2005. Four hundred artists from 44 states and 11 countries registered works. Thirty-three of the best pieces were displayed in a public exhibition at the Artist for Humanity Epicenter and can be viewed at www. redbullartofthecan.com. Other Red Bull Art of the Can contests have been held in Austria, Germany, Holland, New Zealand, South Africa and Switzerland.

Contestants are asked to use Red Bull cans in their artwork, but there are no constraints on creativity. Past Art of the Can entries have included a wall-mounted marlin, a delicately crafted corset, a human-sized interactive kinetic puppet and a pin-art-style sculpture constructed with more than 1,500 Red Bull cans.

Artists can register at www.redbullartofthecan.com. For the Atlanta competition, artists must register by July 22 for the Oct. 14-31 public exhibition. Those who wish to participate in the Dallas contest must also register by July 22 for the Oct. 21-Nov. 5 exhibition, while those interested in participating in Minneapolis should register by Aug. 5. Minneapolis exhibition dates have yet to be announced.
