is 101 Texas Lotto Quick Picks, the pride of seeing your logo on their stuff and frequent personal
updates on the logo's use; the last place finishers will get some Velcro and frequent personal
updates on the winning logo's use. The contest is open to everyone, except Art Guys staff and family
and "anyone inside the beltway of Washington, D.C." Send entries by mail to the Art Guys World
Headquarters, Logo Competition, Floor 93, Suite 1206, 631 West 22nd Street, Houston, TX 77008. The
