Calling all the graffiti artists in Roodepoort …
Glass Graffiti Competition to draw the Roodepoort community’s attention to glass recycling
Did you know that Roodepoort can help save the world, one glass bottle at a time?
Are you a graffiti artist living or working in Roodepoort? Why not help us to get all the local residents to start recycling today!
The Glass Recycling Company (TGRC) is hosting The TGRC Art for Glass Graffiti Competition to draw the Roodepoort community’s attention to their numerous glass recycling banks. They would like to encourage the community to participate in this initiative to help keep the streets clean, and through colourful and unique paintwork, the company hopes to entice residents to find and fill their local glass banks with their recyclable glass bottles and jars.
By entering this competition, they hope that graffiti artists will become passionate about spray-painting the way to a greener future.
The overall aim of this campaign is to create greater awareness of glass recycling within local communities and get South Africans actively recycling their glass bottles and jars – from wine bottles to mayo jars!
“By refreshing a few of our large glass banks with colourful art, they will become more visible, catching the eye of would-be recyclers, and will ultimately become the starting point for more conversations on social media about glass recycling,” said TGRC CEO, Shabeer Jhetam.
Beyond having your Instagram-worthy artwork immortalised on a glass bank in Joburg, the top three competition entrants will also win amazing prizes, including cash prizes worth R60 000, with the 1st prize being R30 000, 2nd prize amounting to R20 000 and 3rd prize nabbing the talented entrant a cool R10 000.
To enter the Art for Glass competition, visit TGRC’s website at www.tgrc.co.za, fill in the entry form and upload some examples of your art. The competition entries will open on Wednesday, 10 April 2019, and will close on Friday, 31 May 2019.
