Recycling Challenge
2010
Contest
Rules
At Art City Austin
2010, we are committed to reducing, reusing
and recycling wherever possible to keep the
environmental impact of our art festival
to a bare minimum and to help keep Austin
beautiful. We have a lot
to live up to after last year’s award-winning
challenge! Please join our efforts. Your non-profit
group can form a team to collect recyclable
materials, gaining exposure for your organization
while competing for a chance to win the $1000
top prize for the team which collects the most
recycled material. Here are the contest
Rules:
- Recycling
challenge hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 6:30
p.m. Saturday April 24th and from 10:00 a.m.
to 6:30 p.m. on Sunday April 25th. We
will, however, have teams arrive at site approximately
1/2 hour before the Recycling Challenge
start times.
- The
team which collects the highest volume of
recyclable materials during the Art City
Austin Festival will win a $1000 cash prize, the second
place team $500, the third place team $200,
and the 4th place $100. All participants
will be given an Eastside Café Recycling
Challenge/Art City Austin t-shirt to be worn throughout
the festival.
- Eastside
Café Recycling Challenge contest winners
will be announced to the public on the main
music stage of Art City Austin at 4:00
p.m. on Sunday the 25th. Cash awards
will be given to participating teams at
6:00 p.m., at the conclusion of the contest. In
order to be eligible to collect cash prizes,
each team must continue to collect
recyclable materials until the conclusion
of the festival 6:00.
- Each
team will man 4 fixed recycling stations
and 2 roving receptacles at all times during
contest hours.
- All
teams will be assigned fixed recycling stations
Saturday morning. Sunday morning, all
teams will be reassigned to new stations
locations in order to ensure that no team has
a geographical advantage over another.
- Recyclables
can be collected throughout festival grounds
in any way actively or passively that does
not include the taking of recyclable
materials from a competing team or the purposeful
wasting of consumables in order to create
recyclable materials.
- During
the festival, Recycling Challenge team members
will instruct festival-goers on proper sorting
of garbage from recyclables.
- Full
recycling barrels will be inspected, collected
and tallied by Green Team festival judges
who will confirm the volume of recyclables
and the quality of separation of garbage from
recyclables. Recyclables contaminated
with garbage and other non-recyclable materials
will be disqualified and will not be counted toward
recycling volume totals.
- Cardboard
collected for recycling will be broken down
flat and stacked. 1 stack (equivalent
in height to the compost collection
cube) will be counted as 1 barrel of recyclables.
- Recycling
stations should be decorated with art identifying
your non-profit group. Each station
will include table space to display your
group’s collateral material (printed
using earth-friendly materials).
- Staffing
requirements: There will be at least
2 adult supervisors (persons over 21 years
of age) and 12 other team members collecting
recyclables at all times. (Substitutions

drink alcoholic beverages during Art City
Austin while on Art City grounds.

for your non-profit.
