Upcycling is the practice of transforming an old object in such a way that it has more value than the original. Put simpler, it is transforming trash into an object of treasure. This contest is all about upcycling and reuse. It is meant for the people who look at a pile of garbage and see possibility, not hopeless waste.
Inspire us with the details of how you take old junk and turn it into something new and amazing!
