Booooooom & Adobe are teaming up with a photo contest where contestants remake famous works of art as photographs.

Some of the submissions are amazing. My personal favorites include “Café Terrace at Night” remake by Jonathan Pruc, “Creation of Adam” remake by Spencer Pidgeon, “Vase with 12 Sunflowers” remake by Qi Wei Fong, and “Automata” remake by Or Eitan.

The Washington Post has published photos of the winner and 35 runners-up to ‘Peeps Show 5′, its annual Peep diorama contest.

The winner is excellent, and very detailed, but I think #13 is my favorite.

The Waikato Museum was holding a contemporary art challenge, and an artist wrote a message to the gallery staff asking them pile up the scraps the other artists were throwing out. He won.

“A pile of rubbish that wasn’t even created by this guy is worth $15,000?” Fergus asked.

She said it was a “sad mockery of us all and an embarrassment to the arts community”.

I think it’s brilliant. Wasn’t it Warhol who said, “Art is anything you can get away with.”

The Big Picture takes us to the Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling contest.

In a tradition that dates back at least 200 years, possibly much longer, groups of fearless competitors chase an 8 pound (3.5 kg) round of Double Gloucester Cheese down an extremely steep and uneven hill, with a 1:1 gradient in some parts.

I’ve seen it on TV and always ask, “Why?”

See if you can spot the guy dressed as Borat (hint: take the square root of 3,136 and subtract 40).

Here’s the gallery from The Washington Post’s third annual Peeps Diorama Contest.

They picked the correct winner, but I also liked #5, #7, #14, and #38.
