5th Annual Carnivorous Nights Taxidermy Contest

"The beasts are back! Calling all science geeks, nature freaks, and rogue geniuses!" Such is the call for the 5th Carnivorous Nights Taxidermy Contest hosted by the Secret Science Club and held at Bell Hall in Brooklyn.  Prizes go for best taxidermy whether bought, found, or homemade, biological oddities, articulated skeletons, skulls, jarred specimens, plus categories you couldn't even imagine.

The contest will be judged by including Robert Marbury of the Minnesota Association of Rogue Taxidermists; Dorian Devins, co-founder and curator of the Secret Science Club; beast mistress Melissa Milgrom, author of Still Life: Adventures in Taxidermy, and Mike Zohn, star of the new show Oddities on the Discovery Channel.

Entrants: Contact secretscienceclub@gmail.com to pre-register. Share your taxidermy (and its tale) with the world!
