Besides roadside litter pick-up do you have other ideas for decreasing litter? Litter Sculpture Contest Category Descriptions No No NIPs

Sculpture is primarily created from nips.

Did you know? Nips, small liquor bottles that hold no more than 100 milliliters of alcohol are the most highly littered item in MA. Priceless in Plastic

Sculpture is primarily created from plastic materials.

Did you know? Trillions of pieces of plastic, many of them microscopic, are floating in the ocean causing damage throughout the food chain.

Anything Goes

Sculpture is created from a variety of common or unique roadside finds. Did you know? 51 billion pieces of litter land on American roadsides each year?

If you have ever participated in a roadside litter clean-up you know anything goes!

Does a hubcap paired with an old paint brush inspire you? Go for it! See you at the Farm!
