Your Masterpiece Here

It may not equal the Lana Turner-at-Schwab’s thing, but Perrier wants to discover a few budding Picassos. The company started putting out art bottles designed by American artists last year. The response was so successful that now the company has come up with an even better promotional gimmick: a contest. The creator of the best bottle design gets $5,000, plus Perrier will host an art exhibit and reception in the winner’s hometown. Best of all, the winning design will be displayed on more than half a million Perrier bottles--which could possibly turn out to be a your-bottle-on-a-table-at-Spago thing. The contest is open to amateur artists only. For more information call Leslie Bonnyman at (617) 227-2111 or write Perrier Art Works! Contest, c/o Cone/Coughlin Communications, 90 Canal St., Boston, Mass. 02114. Contest deadline is July 1, 1995.
