Singapore Design Festival 2007

Synopsis:

As part of a fund raising initiative, Northpoint Shopping Centre has donated 5,000 F&N canned drinks to Yishun Junior College. Proceeds from the sale of the canned drinks by the students will go to the school directly. To further boost the fund-raising, students of Yishun Junior College are challenged to create Christmas displays by incorporating the concept of recycling. They are to collect empty cans and conceptualise their design based on using recycled drink cans. The best 5 designs will be selected for display at Northpoint, based on the following criteria:

• Creativity
• Attractiveness
• Feasibility for production
• Rationale behind the design

Students of these 5 designs stand to win S$1,000 cash each (sponsored by Northpoint Shopping Centre) for their school plus an additional $200 worth of shopping vouchers per winning entry for their effort.  In a bid to reward their recycling effort, Northpoint Shopping Centre will donate 5 cents to Yishun Junior College for every can collected.

Look out for the winning displays at Northpoint from 1 till 31 December 2007.
