A school desktop used as an artist’s canvas; a Double Takes entry at Elpis.com
The Double Takes competition, from Elpis.com - the social networking and collaboration platform, wants photos of original ways of recycling or re-using things and they'd love schools to be involved too. The idea is to spread the green and sustainable message in a fun and accessible way.
Photos can be of anything but they should be all about how things can be re-used or recycled. Small is beautiful and so is big but keep it playful and unusual.
