ENO ART BEE CONTEST

 

Your participation in the Recycled 3D Bee Art Contest will show off not only the many recyclable materials around us, but will also highlight how creativity can reduce the amount of waste sent to the landfill. Recycling is great; reducing and reusing are even better. All green artwork must be comprised of recycled materials with a minimum of 50% recycled content.

Students, look around; pick up everything that is still useful. It doesn’t matter if this is an old CD, a plastic bottle or a broken clock mechanism. Use your imagination and give these broken things a new life.                                                                                                                                                        
Think about the bee. How do you see it – is it a flying warrior? A slave to humans?  A hard working robot? A disappointed ecologist? Think about it and use materials wisely.

We look forward to seeing the results of your imagination and craftiness! Your artwork will be judged for both: Best Presentation and Best Use of Recycled Material.
