THE GREAT MOUNTAIN WAX MUTATION: VINYL ART BATTLE!
LOCAL TURNTABLES TERRORIZED! GROOVES GONE WILD!
Attention, mountain outlaws, canvas criminals, and audio-sculpting weirdos: The wax is dead, and long live the art. We’re raiding the crates, digging up forgotten thrift-store grooves, and handing them over to you to mutilate, carve, paint, collage, and transform into absolute masterpieces.
Grab your blank slate of heavy plastic, pay the toll, and show this town what creative chaos looks like.
THE CRITICAL DOSSIER
The Entry Toll: $15 flat rate to claim your vinyl and secure your spot in the madness. 2 entrees per person
The Drop-Dead Deadline: All finished mutant vinyl pieces must claw their way back to the shop by October 10th.
The Public Spectacle: The official art exhibition runs from October 16th through December 30th, where the masses will gawk, gasp, and judge.
GLORY & BRAGGING RIGHTS: THE CATEGORIES
Survive the gallery walls and you might just walk away with immortalized fame in one of four fierce divisions:
Peter Buell Founder's Award – For the piece that channels the ultimate visionary spirit.
People's Choice Award – Crowned by the chaotic mob and roaring public vote.
Most Idyllwild-ish Award – Drenched in local mountain grease, pine needles, cryptid energy, and high-altitude weirdness.
Most Unexpected – Defying all logic, gravity, and good taste in the best way humanly possible.
Grab your record, warp your reality, and let's get weird.
