PENSACAN
Calling all CANchitects and CANgineers! Assemble your build team and help us Demolish Hunger, Design Hope in this year's PensaCAN competition. PensaCAN is a competition where teams create impressive structures made entirely out of full cans of food. Following a week-long display of the structures and voting, all food is then donated to Manna for distribution to our neighbors in need in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. Registration is open to ANYONE...architects, intern architects, engineers, designers, contractors, local businesses, professors, teachers, students, or anybody, anywhere, that wants to form a team and help the local community. Do not have a team but still want to build? Register as an individual and we will match you up with a team! The display and on-site location is the Cordova Mall, but off-site and digital builds can take place anywhere (just follow the directions/requirements on the Info Packet Coversheet and Judging Guidelines). Awards will be presented in eight categories. Not a builder but still want to help? Great sponsorships are available, or you can make a donation HERE (use the "in honor of" field and type "PensaCAN"). Help us break 20,000 meals this year! |
