'Where do I find these things?'
Can it be true? 
This 'World Famous' sculpture is named “What You see Might Not Be Real” by Chinese artist Chen Wenling. It makes a dig at the global financial crisis. The farting bull represents Wall Street (in Chinese slang, to fart means to bluff or lie). And the man being shoved into the wall is Bernard Madoff.

The Sculpture was big news (on most news shows, newspapers, internet articles and magazines) at the time in the UK and across Europe.
Almost everybody knows of it and has seen the image...

...although I did see/hear a couple of news articles at the time, that claimed as a footnote that the USA had restricted news reporting upon this sculpture because they perceived it to be against their national interest.

And it is claimed (and apparently not refuted) that the top nations who censor their 'national news releases' are #1: USA  #2: North Korea #3: Iran 

I've worked with USA colleagues visiting London who have been gobsmacked in the past at news 'events' reported in Europe that they'd never heard tell of in the USA.

For my own part, I've always noticed, when visiting the USA, how little I hear upon international news, whilst I'm there.

A Literary Fiction competition is exclusive and would exclude 95% of us mortal authors whilst causing an explosion of thesaurus substituted semi-appropriate words.

Then of course, would ensue the perpetual discourse upon what actually constitutes/qualifies 'Literary Fiction'.

A cracking story entry could fail to meet the the 'Literary Fiction Genre' criteria (whatever that definitively is?), whilst a mundane effort could be more (or technically) in line with 'Literary Fiction' style and take the biscuit.

I'd like to see a more open contest with a competition that doesn’t restrict genres and formats. If the objective were to coin a 'subject' then all 'styles' of creative writing (short stories, poems etc.) would be admissible.

Good news. Thanks Sol.

Apologies for my impatience .
