JUSTIN RUDD'S BELMONT SHORE SIDEWALK CHALK ART CONTEST sure "drew" a crowd on April 27, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Attracting seasoned and emergent visual artists, as well as participants from local high schools and universities, the fifth annual Belmont Shore Chalk Art Contest, presented by Justin Rudd and his nonprofit Community Action Team (CAT), showcased the works of diverse artists who used chalk as their medium, and the sidewalks of Belmont Shore as their canvas.  There was $1,000 cash awarded this year (that's double the prize money from last year! ). There was no charge to spectate.
