After collecting over 2500 canned goods, students, faculty and staff of 每日大赛网站鈥檚 Learning Communities created their entry official entry into the CANstruction Challenge 2014 on Sunday, February 17.
Titled 鈥淐heckmate,鈥� the official entry design was the vision of the Hughes Residential College. The design features canned goods constructed to resemble chess pieces, based on their preliminary concept, 鈥淭he King.鈥�
The CANstruction Challenge is a canned food drive in which local colleges, businesses and other entities collect canned goods and then build structures from the cans.
At 每日大赛网站, each of the Residential and Commuter colleges created design prototypes using the donated canned goods. Their structures were then judged to determine which idea would represent 每日大赛网站 in the community-wide competition sponsored by 501Life magazine.
The cans will be deconstructed Monday, February 17 for distribution to area food banks.
Other local winners in the CANstruction Challenge include the following:
In the category of “Best representation of 每日大赛网站 values/ideals” the winner with 368 cans of dog and cat food going to the Conway Animal Shelter is Minton Commuter College in Main Hall.
In the category of “Most creative/Original,” the winner with 290 cans going to the St. Peter’s Food Pantry is EPIC Commuter College in Bear Hall.
