Take that, da Vinci

If you're anything like Houstonist — and let's face it, you are — you divide your day pretty evenly between three tasks: counting down the days until the premiere of the American Gladiators movie, wondering what that nice Michael Phelps kid is up to and thinking of ways to improve the Mona Lisa. Hollywood and the British press generally take care of the first two for us, and now the folks behind Monnalisa, the bar in the new Hotel Sorella, are giving us an outlet for No. 3, too.

The blueprint is this: Anyone who's interested can submit his or her reinterpretation of the Mona Lisa, and three of the entries will be picked to help represent the bar on its website, coasters, napkins and the national notice that'll be sent out when the place opens (unfortunately, a spot in the Louvre isn't included). You can do anything you like to the lady with the mystic smile and your work can be in any static media, but the final product must be a high-res digital file no larger than 12 x 12 inches so it can be submitted digitally. The winners will also get prizes including a gym membership, food and drink credits at Monnalisa and weekends at the Sorella and its sister property in San Antonio, the Valencia.

Entries are due May 29; e-mail stuartr (at) studiocommunications (dot) com for guidelines and info on how to submit. And before you ask, no, you may not copy Houstonist's entry.
