Enter Council’s art competition and help the environment

Council is inviting all school-aged and preschool-aged children to enter a competition aimed at helping raise awareness of the impact of single-use plastics on the environment. Participants are being asked to create their own unique artwork using upcycled, recycled or single-use plastic collected as litter, with examples including snack wrappers, coffee cups, straws, cotton buds, polystyrene and bread bag tags.

Winners will have their artwork displayed in the art exhibit at the Hanging Rock Reserve Discovery Centre and will also take home a worm farm or compost bin made from recycled plastic. The early learning centre or school from which the winners are from, will win a delivery of organic compost for their gardens.  The competition closes 6 April.

All entries into the Art Show from first timers to established artists are welcomed. There are also sections for children whose entries are highly encouraged.  Entry forms and terms and conditions are available from the Art Show website.
