Most Creative Peanut Butter Sandwich contest for kids

Here's some Sandwich Day content just for the kids. Jif, one of the most popular peanut butter manufacturers in the US, is holding their annual Most Creative Peanut Butter Sandwich contest. It challenges kids ages 6-12 to come up with an original peanut butter recipe that is creative, nutritionally balanced, attractive and easy to make. As a benchmark, last year's winner was a Peanutty Pretty Pita Purse made by a 7 year old girl named Shannon and included creamy peanut butter, a whole wheat pita, strawberry banana yogurt and fresh strawberries and bananas. The year before, a slightly more grown-up sounding Thai Peanut Butter Chicken Wrap was the winner. Win or lose, it's a fun way to get your child thinking about food and experimenting with appearances and flavors. If you win, however, the grand prize is a $25,000 scholarship fund and four runners-up get $2,500 scholarships.

The deadline for submission, which must be done by a parent or legal guardian, is November 15, 2006.
