Newcastle Council is encouraging school students to take part in an art competition with a focus on the circular economy.
The Close the Loop Art Competition has been created to initiate important conversations about sustainability and resource recovery.
Students have the opportunity for their art works to be showcased on waste trucks and bins across the city.
The competition remains open to all students within the Newcastle LGA, with participating schools going in the running to win a workshop from GoCircular.
Councillor Elizabeth Adamczyk says the competition is a part of a larger approach to educate and spark community feedback on the topic.
"The competition is designed to encourage important conversations around sustainability and resource recovery, but also encourage broader community wide feedback on what we are doing with our Sustainable Waste Strategy at the city," she said.
Students can enter the competition through Council's website, with entries closing on the 23rd of September.
