What was it?
The Trash Traveler created the Trash Art Awards to make one point clear: it is not about cleaning, it is about raising awareness. As World Cleanup Day grows every year, the awards take place at the same time and invite people to think further than cleaning up. Artworks arrive from all around the world and show that people everywhere face the same issue.
Where?
Around the world.
Who joined?
Artists, schools and communities.
The wider ocean issue
Art invites people to ask why the trash was there in the first place.
How you can take part
Everyone can get creative at the next Trash Art Awards. Safely collect litter you find, arrange it into a temporary artwork and share a photo when the project starts. No new materials needed. Follow @thetrashtraveler or sign up for the newsletter to hear when it begins.
