Design-A-Bin contest winners Saturday, November 13, 2010;
1:11 PM
Last Sunday, my friends and I went down to Sengkang to have a look at the Design-A-Bin contest winners! It was part of the Clean and Green Singapore 2011 Carnival happening that day :)
 The contest was launched on 21 August 2010, and it is a part of NEA's campaign to curb littering and to change the littering behavior of youths. The contest received more than 2,500 entries, and the 7 winning bins were showcased at the carnival!  Edmund Chen was there too! He is NEA's cleaniness ambassador  Here are some of the bins! Edmund Chen designed a bin also, this is his :)  Gold Prize winner, by Tess Moh! This is her bin, and to her, an empty bin is as dull as black and white (thus the black and white bin) and encourages you to throw your colourful rubbish into bins!  Silver Prize Winner, by Benjamin Chia! His design depicts the bin interior as a gold mine, which implies that every piece of rubish has to potential to turn into "gold", through recycling efforts.  Bronze Prize Winner, by Abu Bakar! He's 13 years old ^_^ The clear blue sky represents an Earth free from pollution, and the grasslang represents his hope for a litter-free land where plants can grow freely. He also gave his bin a personality by giving it a pair of hungry-looking eyes and lips. He designed a "litter maniac" that is always hungry for litter :)  Most creative design winner, by Yang Wenting! The bin designed is largely inspired by her love for animals, and she hopes that the doggy design attracts children and youths and encourage them to adopt the habit of binning their litter properly.  Consolation prizes! Just as creative and interesting.  Prize presentation for the winners!  Tess Moh, the gold prize winner! She won an iPad and an mp3 walkman player  I bumped into Jasnie there, her friend is one of the winners :)   After the prize presentation, cameras were snapping non stop!

It shows that many Singaporeans really do care about our environment, and together, we can contribute towards a cleaner and greener Singapore :) I hope there'll be many other contests like this so that Singaporeans can not only express our creativity, but to also help to promote environmental awareness at the same time. |
