Earth Day Recyclable Art Sculpture Contest

Guidelines

Idaho Falls Earth Day Celebration will host a recyclable art sculpture contest to raise awareness among students and their communities about the need for recycling and what materials are recyclable locally.   

Contest entries should be planned around the theme “Rethink Recycling” and use only recyclable materials for creating the art.  All entries will be displayed during the Earth Day event and a Peoples' Choice Award will be presented to the sculpture receiving the greatest number of visitor’s votes.

Sculptures will be judged on:

  • Number of Recyclable Categories used. (i.e., wood, paper, plastic, metals — Glass and duct tape are NOT permitted.)

  • Percent of sculpture made from recycled materials

  • Originality (Sculpture can be realistic or abstract)

  • Design and artistic impact (WOW factor)

  • Complexity of sculpture

If your class or school would like to participle in this contest, please contact  Alana Jensen at 227-9020 or by email at ajensen@gssif.com   Check out www.kid-at-art.com/htdoc/matchtmp.html for ideas.
