About the Event

“Trash to Treasure” is a creative competition where participants transform waste or discarded materials into useful, artistic, or decorative items. The aim is to inspire students to think sustainably, reduce waste, and showcase innovation by proving that nothing is truly waste until you waste it.

Event Flow

1. All participants must bring their own waste materials and stationery items.
2. Only recycled/waste material should be used. Limited supporting material (like glue, paint, or scissors) is allowed.
3. No use of sharp, dangerous tools or toxic materials.
4. Pre-prepared items will not be accepted—work should be done on the spot.
5. Each team must explain their creation in 2–3 minutes, highlighting the materials used and its usefulness.
6. Respect time limits—late submissions will not be considered.
7. Judges’ decision will be final and binding.
