The new competition has been aptly named the Art-Can-Win Competition and encourages students to create a print advert for Collect-a-Can. The winning entry will form part of Collect-a-Can's 2013 national advertising campaign.
"South Africa's youth mean a great deal to Collect-a-Can and we relish the opportunity to engage with tertiary level students," says Zimasa Velaphi, public relations and marketing manager of Collect-a-Can. "The competition encourages entrants to become cognisant of the important work that Collect-a-Can is doing through the recovery of used cans, not only by benefiting the environment but also by creating jobs and building environmental awareness."
The competition launched on 1 July and will run until 31 October 2012. It is open to tertiary level students only. Entry forms are available on the Collect-a-Can website www.collectacan.co.za. Entries can either be mailed to Collect-a-Can at PO Box 30500, Kyalami, 1684, for attention Janette Kruger or emailed to az.oc.nacatcelloc@ettenej.
