Year of PBR & $1,893 Competition...Go!

In the spirit of writing about more competitions, here's one from Pabst Blue Ribbon:

In 2008, we were overwhelmed by the entries that we received for the art contest. Each day that we got a new artistic entry we felt as our ancestors did in 1893 when Pabst won the Blue Ribbon. To bring that feeling back, we are conducting another contest in 2009.
This time, we are asking talented Pabst drinkers to try their hand in four categories: Painting, Sculpting, Photography and Poetry. Official rules are available here. So, get your creative juices flowing and enter the Pabst Art Contest for your chance at $1,893 and a year of beer*
I searched everywhere on the site to figure out what a "year of beer" means. If I had to calculate...I'd say I could finish off about six tall boys a night with ease, multiplied by 365 days...so 2,190 tall boys or 35,040 ounces of PBR. Something makes me think that this is not the case.

This is how the judging is going down:
All entries will be judged on creativity (50%), originality (25%), and ability to capture the essence of the brand (25%).
Oh, and that picture above: taken by k(i)d at Zombie Pub Crawl IV this last October. I somehow doubt that this would fit into their "essence of brand" category.
