Professional and amateur designers are invited to register for the Freecycle Fashion Show to be presented at the 13th Annual Mississippi Earthtones Festival.  The show encourages artists to turn waste into fashion by creating unique garments/costumes out of recycled materials (used materials/waste that would otherwise go to the landfills/items that would be discarded after use like newsprint, aluminum cans, plastic, decks of cards, VCR tapes, wrapping or packaging materials, wire, etc.). Have Fun!

​

Categories:

• Youth Category - Children 12 and under.  Work will be judged for the best use of recycled materials.  at least 50% of the garment/costume must be recycled.
