Old Dominion University celebrates Going Green ...

** all registration fees are donated to Chesapeake Bay Foundation

 Join ODU in celebrating Earth Day, with a pre- Blue goes Green week activity.  The event will be held on the Kaufman Mall beginning at 11:00 am on April 15, 2010.

Sign up your company or professional society to compete to win the “Repurposing with Design” Contest.  A great event to showcase on your corporate website; this green experience will use your creativity to take waste/trash and repurpose it into a usable structure or artwork.  This contest will challenge students and professionals to reuse trash, whether from households, businesses or construction sites, to create a usable item.  It could be artwork or a doghouse... Creations must be constructed from 100% waste with the exception of tape, glue, screws, nails etc.  On the day of the event, a form must be filled out to document your source of the waste.

A panel of judges will evaluate all entries and the winners announced at 2:30 pm. Prizes will be given in two categories- student and professional. 

Entries will be judged on the following equally weighted areas:

1. Creativity

2. Degree of impact to the environment of materials selected

3. Practicality

Team Registration is $50 with all funds donated to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.  Please make your check to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

*Registration is free for students
