All winning egg artists are invited to the White House after the Easter display. Sorge says the winning Iowa egg will be chosen August 10th.Sorge says the eggs should depict Iowa or something about Iowa and be creative. One catch, she says standard eggs are required — no ostrich, emu or anything else unusual.To request an entry form, call 877-IOWA-EGG.
