This contest like other contests is a contest of skill and this skill is the creation of DaDaist Art for the contest which will be contested by many contestants and will be contested by a contestingeer. Before I go over the contest's contesting for you "to be contestants for this contest" I will probably have to give you a description of what DaDaist art is.
I, personally, cannot give a good definition of DaDaist culture so I took some quotes from famous DaDaists:

"DaDa is beautiful like the night, who cradles the young day in her arms." - Hans Arp
"DADA speaks with you, it is everything, it envelops everything, it belongs to every religion, can be neither victory or defeat, it lives in space and not in time." - Francis Picabia
"Dada is the sun, Dada is the egg. Dada is the Police of the Police." - Richard Huelsenbeck

Now that you have a good idea of what Dadaism is I will explain the contesting rules for this contest for you "To be contestants in this aformentioned contest."

FIRST!: You will, for the contest, make, create, fumigate, and arate a piece of Dadaist art. You will proceed to post the contest art in the contest thread and wait for contesting over you and other contestants.
SECOND!: I [the contestingeer] will contest contestants contest entering art. I will rate three contestants' contest entering art into "Pie", "Latin", and "Eröffnungs". Contestant "Pie" and "Eröffnungs" will have to create new contest art to be contested by the new contestingeer "Latin". Latin will have to contest Eröffnungs's and Pie's contest entering art in three contest catagories, which follow as such:
Rats:
Gotik:
Navy:
Every point in the "Rats" column counts as 1. Every point in the "Gotik" column counts as the square root of the total of points in the "Rats" column. Every point in the "Navy" column counts as 3.
Whoever gets the least amount of points becomes the next round's "Contestingeer". And then we repeat the whole thing over again.

Now that you understand, GO!

Rutabagas! I heartily embrace the hemorrhoids and wish you sincere flower snarkiness in your contest. If I had a crescent wrench I would participate, but alas I was born in New York and yesterday was Halloween.
