Last week, we featured each of our top five finalists in the Save My Oceans contest. Now we can reveal which of these finalists is the Grand Prize Winner. All the entries in the contest were impressive, and it was great to see all the fun, innovative and practical ways folks are reusing plastics in their CRAFT and MAKE projects. Be sure to check out the Save My Oceans Flickr group to check out more of the projects.
Contest entries were judged using the following criteria:
- Creativity and originality of the project - accounting for 50% of the total score
- Amount of Plastic re-use - accounting for 30% of the total score
- Practicality of the final output - accounting for 20% of the total score
We also had a special-guest judge on the panel: writer, filmmaker and adventurer Jon Bowermaster, of Take Part. To recap, our top five finalists were as follows:
- Olive the Ostrich Plastic Sculpture
- Upcycled Fused Plastic Coat
- Upcycled Plastic Beads
- Upcycled Hairclips
- Upcycled Corset
