2009 Call For Entries

Canstruction is a unique competition highlighting the creativity and generosity of Toronto’s design professionals. Teams design and build structures completely out of canned food for the benefit of the Daily Break Food Bank, last year donating 97,000 lbs of food. This year food bank usage rose 14% in the first 3 months of 2009, meaning your participation in 2009 is more crucial than ever. This is an excellent chance to increase the awareness of your company, be connected with a worthy cause, and help put a stop to unnecessary hunger. In short, Canstruction is a design competition where everyone wins. Download the registration form and enter now!
