Matza art: Better than eating it?

OK, we've finally found a better use for matzah.

Start a new tradition in your family with your own art contest modeled on the first-ever Manischewitz Matzah Sculpture Competition.

The winner was NYU freshman studio art major James Donovan, who built the Washington Square Arch from the cardboard-like stuff. He received the $1,000 grand prize.

Other entries included:

"Passover and New Orleans: Exodus and Empathy Revisited," a series of sukkot from matzah, foam board and photographs, by Erica Dobin.

"Home as an idealized construct," souvenir photograph photograph projector keychains with old family photos, by NYU grad student Daniel Rosenberg.

Chana Langman recreated the Second Temple in Jerusalem, and Leia Weil and Erica Frankel built a model of the Western Wall, complete with worshippers.

Twelve entries were received; eight were chosen for display at the university.
