Local residents wishing to enter the Sims Metal 2024 Waste 2 Art Exhibition and Competition have until 5pm on Friday 31 May to submit their entry forms.
Waste 2 Art is a community art exhibition and competition open to all residents of the NetWaste region. It showcases creative works made from reused waste materials. The aim is to challenge peoples' perceptions about 'rubbish' and to celebrate the reuse and recycling of waste through arts and crafts.
This year's theme is 'packaging'. It's free to enter and there are great prizes on offer.
Waste 2 Art is a community event that showcases creative works made from reused and recycled waste materials.
While entry forms must be submitted by 31 May, entries don't have to be received by the library until the delivery period, which will occur between 14and 16 June.
Waste 2 Art provides an innovative approach to waste education, invites individuals, schools, and community groups to take up the challenge and create a new life for materials that would otherwise have been thrown away or considered useless.
Over the years many materials have been used, items like soft plastics, tin cans, bottle tops, plastic bags, parts from rusty farm machinery, scrap metal, bread tags, the options are limitless. Instead of ending up in landfill, these waste materials can be turned into fantastic works of art.
The competition includes categories to challenge and stimulate the imagination.
