We want you to create some recycled/up-cycled yard art.
Valley Community for Recycling Solutions (VCRS) and the Alaska State Fair (ASF) are sponsoring the annual “Recycled Yard Art Contest”. Your creations will be displayed during the fair at the VCRS Recycling Education Booth on the purple Miners Loop trail just beyond the pony rides.
The criteria for entry is:
· Made entirely of recycled previously-used materials
· Can be easily moved for display purposes
· Limited by height/width and length for purposed of movability
· Weather worthy and/or anchored to make it so it will withstand the rain and wind during the fair
· Self-supported or anchored to make it so
This year entries will be accepted at the Alaska State Fair August 14th and 15th at the Hoskins building. Visit www.alaskastatefair.org and search for “Recycled Yard Art Special Contest 2020”. There you will find all the specifics: judging criteria, specifications and display requirements. The ASF will award 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbons. In addition, ALPAR (Alaskans for Litter Prevention and Recycling) has provided corresponding $100, $75 and $50 gift cards from COSTCO. Fairgoers will vote for their favorite yard art during the fair, and the winner will receive a special People’s Choice award ribbon from VCRS.
After the fair, entrants are welcome to donate their entries to Valley Community for Recycling Solutions. VCRS will have exclusive rights to display the yard either indoors or on the art/nature trail. We may auction the item off at a future fundraiser. Yes, credit will be given to the creator. Thank you for participating and recycling.
