Upcycling can win your school $500!

Submit your upcycled design for the chance to win $500

The Upcycle Challenge asks students in ecomaine’s member communities to use items that ordinarily would have been disposed of, to make all-new, functional ones and submit them by Friday, March 31.  The public will vote on a winner, who will win $500 for their school!
