Our friend Justin points us over to a Worth1000.com contest to combine Star Wars with classic works of art. See below for the contest rules to get a feel for the idea and then click here to check out the entries.


"I went to an art gallery the other day. The artworks were all right, I guess, but you know what they were missing? Wookiees. There wasn't one Wookiee in sight. Also no Jedis, no Storm Troopers ... in fact none of the artworks had any Star Wars elements at all!

In this contest we're going to rectify the art world's mistake by placing Star Wars character, items, vehicles and scenes into classic art works. Paintings, tapestries and sculptures are all allowed.

Hit list: the Mona Lisa, Munch's 'The Scream' and any painting by Norman Rockwell. Use them and your entry will be disqualified.

As always, quality is a must. We'll remove poor images no matter how much we like you. You'll have 48 hours for this contest, so make your submissions count."

Thanks Justin! (Who found the link through Gizmodo)
