Benjamin Franklin Scavenger Hunt

Test your powers of observation and your knowledge of Benjamin Franklin to win valuable prizes!

Each of the identified “suitcases” contains within it one or more references to Benjamin Franklin. They can be either visual, or written. Some may be very literal, while others may be more abstract or symbolic. Some may be on the surface, and others may be more hidden (but still visible.)

To be eligible to win a prize you must do the following:

1. Closely inspect the artwork.
2. Find the reference to Benjamin Franklin
3. Take one of the postcards provided and write the name of the artwork where indicated.
4. On the same postcard, identify the Ben Franklin reference you have found.
5. Fill in your name, address, phone and e-mail.
6. Mail the postcard.

All entrants submitting postcards with correct responses will be eligible for the prize drawing. The drawing will be held the night of the auction, Saturday, November 12, 2005, at the Wexler Gallery. Prizewinners do not have to be in attendance to be eligible for the drawing. All winners will be contacted.

Members of Philadelphia Sculptors, the Philadelphia Sculptors Board of Directors, participants in “A Case for Art”, and their families are not eligible for the drawings.
