Starting today through November 14th, Jif is sponsoring their "Seventh Annual Most Creative Peanut Butter Sandwich Contest" and the "Jif Moms Voice Their Choice Contest."

The prizes for both contests include trips to New York. The former includes scholarship money, and the latter includes a seat at the judges' table at the former's final event! Would you like to be a judge tasting a PB-marshmallow-and-sardine sandwich? Who knows, might be yummy. And if you are the one who made the sardine masterpiece, you could end up with $25,000 to help pay for college.

My kids aren't particularly adventurous: Splig likes his PB sandwich cut into a heart each and every time. The Cat might change how many pieces he wants in his sandwich, but it is always just PB. No bananas (although those are welcome on ice-cream.) No honey: for awhile he liked honey-toast. And I haven't tried marshmallows.

When the Cat turned two, I had chocolate-chip PB sandwiches as part of the spread, but again, I don't think this is creative enough to win the contest, especially based on the list of past winners at the base of the contest page. But at least I've got some ideas!
