    I believe that contest continues annually, but it is strictly
    amateur, pretty much just stuff on a string. The entries were
    actually pretty disappointing, in that they were not very creatively
    ugly. Seriously, it is not easy! 

    If the prize were anything I could use, I might have entered again,
    because I had an idea I felt could not lose-- a necklace composed of
    cigarette and cigar butts. If I could stand to make it! I kinda
    liked the idea of making a visually balanced, even classic
    composition of these revolting objects. But I'd have to touch them--
    smell them-- and even if I won, all I'd get is some beads. 

    If anybody wants to check it out, it was the Ugly Necklace contest,
    and I think the store that holds it is the Land of Odds.
