Tell It to The World

Message in a bottle

Have you got something to say about plastic pollution? Here’s your chance to get it off your chest! Our Issue 16 ‘SuperRoleModel’ Tim Silverwood and his Take3 organisation has teamed up with activist Amy Kyriacou and creative hub Create or Die to launch the first ever Message in a Bottle art and design competition. Entries are open until January 11 with shortlisted finalists going on display at Create or Die’s gallery in Erskineville on January 25. Winning artworks will even be printed on bar coasters and beer labels throughout Australia in the coming months, helping to spread the word about the plastic pandemic. Read more about the comp here or RSVP for the show’s opening night here. Whatever you have to say about plastic pollution, MIAB want to hear it!
