Selected artworks will be installed in the respective wards of the participants, giving artists recognition at the grassroots level. The chosen participants will also be felicitated by IMC at the ward level. Officials said the initiative will not only highlight local talent but also spread the message of cleanliness, reuse and recycling across communities.

Key rules and guidelines

Participants must create ‘waste-to-art’ installations with a minimum height of six feet. The artwork must be made exclusively from discarded or reusable materials such as plastic, metal, wood, paper and electronic waste, ensuring safe usage.
