Bento is a takeout box of Japanese food. It’s become increasingly common in the Western world. It’s convenient and tasty. Usually it’s a rice-based dish that may include seafood or other types of meat as well as vegetables. And sometimes it’s decorative.

Bento boxes can be arranged in ways that turn the box itself into a work of art. You can arrange meats and vegetables with different colors to create abstract works of art as well as realistic pictures. And that’s exactly what the people running the Rock My Bento contest are hoping that you can do.

The contest asks people to create Bento designs that are inspired by your favorite band, your favorite song or your favorite album cover. For example, you might love KISS and create the entry shown above that Susan Yuen created. It’s made from rice, seaweed and a number of other food products. The real kicker, though, is that the tongue is made from bologna.

Winners of the contest do get a payoff – free bento cookbook as well as their choice of a CD from Amazon. So it’s not an entirely stupid contest. But it sure is weird isn’t it? Who really wants to eat images of their favorite band? Especially when your favorite band is KISS?!
