This year their eternal love for the dessert coupled with the European revival of a 1939 British poster slogan serves as inspiration for the themed design competition\u2014Keep Calm and Wobble On.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Jell-O Mold competition allows entrants to explore design on a budget considering the affordability of the medium. Anyone is welcome to watch and sample, but the lid is tight on submission entries, so Zatta advises contestants to keep in mind the resilience of Jell-O\u2019s physical properties, to re-contextualize Jell-O, and innovate with its design and culinary uses. \u201cJell-O is springy, wobbly, durable, and resilient, and at this point in time, it seems a lot of people are too,&#8221; said Siddiqui. &#8220;We are all doing our best to keep calm, but sometimes things get wobbly&#8211;and that&#8217;s okay, wobble on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Entrants will compete for a grand prize package including $400 in cash, a feature on Make: Online and Craft websites, a spot for their Jell-O creation in the 2010 Last Supper Festival and a slice of pie and coffee from the now  Brooklyn-based Four and Twenty Blackbirds bakery.  Custom-made jell-o shots will be on hand as well as Keep Calm and Wobble on merchandise.<\/p>\n<p>With molds coming from architects, bakers, chefs, designers, engineers and students, expect Sunday\u2019s competition to end in colorful, tasty consumption.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cost:<\/strong> Free, $5 suggested donation<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to get there:<\/strong><em><strong> <\/strong>Take the F train to 4th avenue.
