Recycled ARTicle Contest

celebrate Earth Day, get into recycling, and earn prizes and money!
Design
Your Artwork -
Design your own
recycled wearable
art - it can be a hat or any article of clothing you dream up.
It just needs to be something you wear and that you made from recycled
materials that would have otherwise been thrown out. Be creative, zany,
big, colorful and outrageous. Just remember to have fun making it and be
sure to go for the wow!
factor.
Wear Your Artwork - Wear your new
artwork to and around the Earth Day Expo and proudly show off what can be
made out of trash. Come to the stage area in the Cafe' a few minutes
before the top of each hour from noon to 5pm to enter the contest and
collect your entry prize.
Win Fortune & Fame!
- A $25 cash prize
will be awarded to the best entry every hour, on the hour, from noon to 5pm. A grand prize winner will be awarded
$50 cash or tuition to a summer art class at the Orion Art Center (a $125
value) and have their photo
posted on this Earth Day Expo website for an entire year!
