Challenge: Use Trash And Existing Materials To Create Art - Stand To Win $500!

Looking for a new way to unleash your creative juices? Check out Trashy Art 2021, an eco-art contest where you'll have to create art from beach trash and recyclable materials.

Simi Trashy Art?

Spearheaded by PA PAssion Wave’s conservation arm, Project Blue Wave, Trashy Art 2021 is a virtual contest that aims to raise awareness regarding marine and eco-conservation while promoting the integration of built and natural environments by blending art and trash collection.

How to take part?

To participate, simply take a trip to any of Singapore's beaches (while observing prevailing Covid-19 measures) and start picking up trash to use.

Then, create a personal art piece from the trash you've collected and submit a photo of your artwork on the Trashy Art contest page, along with a 100 word write-up about your art piece.

Six winners will be chosen, and the winning artworks will be displayed at one of the 6 PAssion Wave outlets for a year.
