9. Summer Trash To Treasure Challenge

Happy Summer everyone!

I have had numerous requests to start a new challenge.

This one will be a Summer-themed Challenge. 

The Challenge is to use any kind of trash or recycled materials incorporated into some form of art, be it, fine art, crafts, or a vintage item that was ready for the landfill or plucked from your neighbor's trash that you have turned into a work of art.

The entry must be related to the subject of the season Summer in some way.

It can be something made entirely of trash saved from the landfills or have some kind of trash incorporated into the project. The more trash you use, the higher points you'll get under #5 below.

Today, Friday June 28th starts the challenge. You have 3 weeks until Thursday July 19th at 9 PM EST to enter the item.

One entry per Zibbet ID.

Five winners will be chosen by a panel of judges.

The five winners will appear in the Fantastic Five on Monday July 30th.

The First Place Winner will also be in the Zibbet Newsletter and become a Featured Zibbeter.

Items must be listed in your zibbet shop for sale.

Post your item in this thread and I will pin it to this Pinterest Board.
