Canstruction.

Size: L?
Where: Tim gave it to me.



Why: Canstruction is this great charity that holds competitions for artists, designers, architects, etc. to construct large, elaborate sculptures using canned food, after which all of the food is donated to local food banks, soup kitchens, shelters, etc.



Comment: Check out the Canstruction website for some great shots of some of the past entrants and winners to their competitions.

Because of the whimsical designs and the charitable aspect, you'd think these competitions would be all in good fun, no? Not so! Tim, whose firm has enters and participates in these competitions regularly, tells me that people take this VERY seriously and get into all kinds of screaming matches about size/material regulations, unfair judging, etc. Ah, the delicate geniuses.
