Hey photobugs, are you ready for Phillyist Framed 2010? Well, here's your heads up. Our wildly successful photography competition is back for another go-round in January. We'll see you back at Studio 34 in West Philly with more of everything. More entries, more judges, more fun! Starting next week we're going to ask you to submit your best Photoist-type creations for a chance to exhibit at a week-long gallery show. (Yes, you will be able to price and sell your work!) Plus, this year our special guest judges will be selecting 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.

In conjunction with their Posters for the People exhibition, the National Constitution Center is inviting local artists of all ages to contribute to the WPA Poster Contest. The Works Progress Administration, for those of you who don't remember learning about it in history class, was part of FDR's New Deal in an attempt to stimulate a depressed economy and included artists, musicians, and writers back when the arts where considered an important facet of the culture.

Bummed because you didn't win last week's Never the Sinner giveaway? Never fear! We have two more pairs of tickets and two more signed posters to give away. Just fill out the form below by Wednesday, August 19, and we'll let you know if you won. Full details about the show are in last week's post.

Mauckingbird Theatre Company, Philadelphia's premiere gay-themed theatre company, is about to launch a new production called Never the Sinner, and Phillyist is giving you a chance to catch it yourself. Both this week and next, we'll be awarding two pairs of tickets and two posters signed by the cast to two lucky readers (that's four winning readers, four posters, and four pairs of tickets total).

Monday, maybe you should go to the North Star Bar naked.

There's something awesome about a catchy, poppy song that can't get out of your head. Unfortunately, most of the people who make these songs turn out to be one-hit wonders (anybody remember Matthew Wilder?)—but we've got a good feeling about the two bands playing the World Café Live this Friday. One of them, Peter Bjorn and John proved their awesome singability with "Young Folks," a song so good that you knew you'd never hear from the band again—until the announcement that the band was releasing a new album, Living Thing, which, on first listen, sounds just as awesome as their last. (That'd be Writer's Block—the album "Young Folks" lived on.)
