But wait, there’s more to that. You win more cash prizes if you join and triumph at the National Shake Leg Championship or the National Paper Toss Championship. Outlast, outplay, and outshake all the rest of the participants, and you’re sure to bring home the bacon—that’s $888 for you!
Bringing to life the cult-classic Paper Toss mobile game, Artbox 2023 also invites visitors to test their accuracy and wind-bending skills—and become the first-ever National Paper Toss Champion, bringing home $888!
