Recycled Innovations Contest:
Eco-Innovators are those who think outside of the can to create treasure out of trash. The City of Largo's Recycled Innovations Contest encourages innovators to make a useable creation for photo submission in their online event.
All entries must be made of 75 percent or more recycled or material that would otherwise be discarded. Contrary to a recycled art show, Recycled Innovations are items that may be reused in daily activities. Accepted entries will be functional items made of materials that can be diverted from the waste stream.
The City of Largo's Recycled Innovation Show will give participants the opportunity to get their designs noticed across Tampa Bay and beyond. Innovative prizes will be awarded to the greatest innovators in various age categories: Tiny Innovators, Junior Innovators, Tween Innovators, Techie Innovators, and Macgyvers.
