Rykr Steel and Trada Art studios are working together on a
community project to serve the environment and entertain the community, as well
as provide some creative and useful art. A contest will be held for the most
creative lawn furniture/art made from scrap steel provided by Rykr Steels
recycling lot. Here are the details of the contest:
The purpose of the contest is to make steel or metal lawn
furniture and or art that can be used in a safe and practical matter. Rykr
Steel noticed that the community was dropping off a lot of bigger steel and
metal items at the recycling lot we opened last month. The guys from Trada Art studios
walked thru the recycling lot and fabricated a complete lawn furniture set out
of old gearboxes and steel frames. We thought this was a great way to recycle
and reuse some of these items. By holding a contest we can spread the word and
promote this kind of innovative recycling and create useful lawn equipment just
in time for summer.
The recycling contest will begin on April 9th and
go through the 23rd. We ask that you be at least 18 years old to
enter on your own, unless signed up with a parent or guardian. You can work in
teams of up to 4. Ryker steel will also provide a cutting torch, angle grinder, and mig
welder at the recycling yard. You can also use/bring your own tools if desired.
During this time the recycling yard will remain open 24 hours to the contest
participants. The voting will be conducted on Sunday, April 24th.
Sunday, April 24th voting will be held and your
pieces must be a Trada Art Studios by Noon. The judging will be held by the
community. Each visitor will be given a ballot to turn in when they leave. Any
registered team member cannot vote. We will announce the winner Monday via
phone call and the winner’s name and art pieces will be displayed on the
websites of Ryker Steel and Trada Art Studios. Rykr Steel is giving away an all-inclusive
2 night stay at Turtle Lake Hotel and Casino. Food and Drink included. Trada
Art Studio is also giving a way prizes! Visit their blog or follow them on Facebook or their blog
