Register a team and set out in search of fame, glory, £2,000 CASH and the chance to participate in an exhibition in the Edinburgh Art Festival at the City Art Centre.
Edinburgh bred artist, Joshua Sofaer has created the supreme scavenger hunt. With only nine hours and the whole of Edinburgh as a hunting ground, teams are invited to register, pack their A Zs and race to win. Forty teams will be issued with 100 clues. These clues help teams earn points; the team with the most points wins £2,000. After deciphering the clues, the teams must beg, borrow, barter and bluff their way around the city, scavenging the items required. At the end of the day, teams can expect to have collected a range of strange and wonderful objects, many of which relate to the Art Festival itself and the city of Edinburgh. Sofaer will use the objects collected in the hunt as the basis for a week long exhibition at the City Art Centre beginning Monday 18 August.
