Fight Food Waste Design Competition
We threw down a challenge: design bold, eye-catching artwork for our Use It Up Tape. And wow, did students deliver. Over 450 imaginative entries flooded in, each one bursting with creativity and passion.
Our powerhouse judging panel – Ronni, Craig Reucassel and Costa Georgiadis – faced the impossible task of choosing the winners from an array of incredible talent.
The winners are absolutely brilliant! Madison from St Monica’s College and Alexandra from Plenty Parklands Primary School knocked it out of the park with designs that are playful, punchy, and instantly memorable. Their winning designs will roll out on limited-edition Use It Up Tape next year to inspire thousand more students across the country.
