Trash-Deactivation Contest

This contest info was sent to the Etsy Trashion Team on Etsy.
It was posted on our forum, but I thought I'd post it here, too,
for anyone else to enter if they'd like!



The Contest, "Trash-Deactivation” is directed to all people, who are actively interested in trashion and can do magic from redundant things and items. Show us what you can do, surprise us with your resourcefulness and share your ideas for clothes or accessories for clothes manufactured from ... well, let's not be afraid to say it out loud, trash!

Participants in this Contest can include bloggers, fashion designers, and professionals - everyone who likes, enjoys and practices trashion.

All the projects, which will be accepted to the semi-finals, will find a way to post-contest online publication entitled "Trashbook", which will comprise not only documentation of the whole trash related event, but also a source for inspiration relative to fashion, style, and trashion style gadgets. "Trashbook" is the first publication of this type, which was created thinking about all the people, who are interested in creative recycling. Make sure that you do not miss your chance to be there!

All the best projects will receive recycling-ecological prizes, which will enrich your wardrobe.
