If you would like to win some cash prizes for your school, enter "Waste into Art" 2009.
Entry into the competition is FREE and there will be three (3) main categories:-
E-Waste - Any electronic waste recycled into an art object. Can be 3D or suitable for hanging;
Paper Product - Artworks made from a collection of different types of paper (may include magazine clippings, bits of coloured paper,
photographs, cardboard boxes, etc.) Can be 3D or suitable for hanging; and
Mixed Media - Artworks in which more than one medium has been used,
eg paint, paper, metal, plastic, to make a statement relative
to waste into art. Can be 3D or suitable for hanging.
Each category has three age sections - Infants, Primary and Secondary. Prizes of $500 will be given to the school of the winners in each section, and $100 presented for those artworks given a High Commendation in each section. Prize money of $1,000 is awarded to the school of the Overall Winning entry.
The entries will be judged on their creativity, aesthetic merit, innovation, craftsmanship and quality of work. An important pre-requisite, however, is that at least 90% of the artwork is made from waste materials. More details and information on entry and competition requirements are outlined in the entry form below which can be downloaded in pdf format. Adobe Reader is required to view this file.
