Collect-a-Can rewards tertiary students

22 Aug 2012

Collect-a-Can's Artistic Expression Competition, which has been running for a number of years as a school competition, has now been opened to tertiary education students instead and will reward students' creative efforts with prizes, which include an Apple MacBook, an Apple iPad and an Apple iPhone.

This new competition, aptly named the Art-Can-Win competition, encourages students to create a print advert for the brand. The winning entry will form part of its 2013 national advertising campaign.

"South Africa's youth mean a great deal to the company and we relish the opportunity to engage with tertiary level students," says Zimasa Velaphi, PR and marketing manager of the company. "The competition encourages entrants to become cognisant of the important work that the company is doing through the recovery of used cans, not only by benefitting the environment but also by creating jobs and building environmental awareness."

The competition will run until 31 October 2012 and is open to tertiary level students only. Entry forms are available on the website www.collectacan.co.za.
