A little creativity, an old something bound for the trash heap and close attention to deadlines could win you cash next month. The contest, in its third year, aims to encourage reusing or recycling items that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Contestants are asked to create art that can weather the elements. It should be constructed mostly with recycled - or recyclable - goods, and weigh no more than 40 pounds. Only Hillsborough residents are eligible to enter.

Tampa: A City Without Culture

When you think of downtown areas, you usually think of an urban setting with lots of people, multiple forms of transportation, shops, bakeries and a central park for people to gather amongst high-rise buildings.

Democracy And The Republic

Michael E. Arth

One of the greatest threats to a democratic republic is when factions are able to act against the will of the majority. This is why George Washington belonged to no party, and famously warned against them.

Our two-party system, cemented in place by anti-democratic election laws, acts against the interest of the majority by shutting out other parties or individuals, by not allowing the best candidates to come forward, and by manufacturing consent through emotionally potent advertising and propaganda.

How To Hear Tampa’s Sound

Many members of Tampa’s musician collective have been able to gain enthusiastic followers, but these fans hadn’t heard them on the radio or read about them in Rolling Stone. Instead, local artists have devised ways to market, advertise and introduce themselves within the busy Tampa Bay music scene.
