3 A. Dates to Know + Key Information 1. Design Team Sign-Up Deadline Wednesday, February 28 All design teams must register by deadline above Design Concept Deadline Friday, March 23 See subsequent sections for detailed Build Out Rules + Regulations and Design Criteria. All sculpture designs must be submitted by deadline above AT THE LATEST for review and approval. You are welcome to send these anytime sooner, as designs are first come, first served and we try to avoid duplicates. Keep in mind that this is a family-friendly event and is intended to be fun and creative. We strongly discourage sculptures of logos. Design Teams and Sculpture Sponsors are to collaborate to come up with their ultimate design idea. Design Teams and their Sculpture Sponsors can meet as much or as little as they think is necessary during the design process, but it is ultimately up to the Design Team to work out the details. The Design Team is acting as just that, the Designer, while the Sculpture Sponsors act as a client. 3. CanSculpture Sponsor + Can Order Deadline Friday, April 6 Due date to ensure time for order and delivery of food. Design Teams will either be provided with Can Order Forms. Ideally you would have your list nearly complete when your design is due. All sponsor money must be in place for cans to be ordered - your can order amount CANNOT exceed your sculpture sponsor amount. 4. CanSculpture Boards Due Friday, May 18 Design team boards to be put together by teams, and Canstruction Santa Fe will take care of printing. Please include any pertinent information for your CanSculpture, and we will provide you with any required logos and/or text. 5. Canstruction Build Day Friday, June 8 The big day - we hope you re ready! All food orders will be weighed and delivered to the mall prior to Build Day and separated by team. Snacks and lunch will be provided for builders. Don t forget to bring all of your previously prepared structural materials, any other materials required and/or equipment such as ladders. See Build Out Rules + Regulations for more information. You will have ten (10) hours to build your sculpture, and may include build volunteers from both your Design Team and Sculpture Sponsor. 6. Awards Party Thursday, June 14 Judging is to remain anonymous and fair. No team members are allowed to be promoting their sculpture prior to or during judging (but of course you can encourage people to view the exhibition and participate in People s Choice). The Awards Party will be held at Santa Fe Place Mall, so we can celebrate together with our Cansculptures. Appetizers and drinks will be provided. 7. decanstruction Day Monday, June 18 The Food Depot and their volunteers will decanstruct the cansculptures and take all canned goods from the site. The cansculptures must be easy to decanstruct. If a generous amount of support materials were used your team is responsible for retrieving and/or disposing of those materials; support materials may not be stored at Santa Fe Place. 3

4 B. Build Out Rules + Regulations 1. Size of Structure - Maximum size for a structure is 10 L x 10 W x 8 H. 2. Size of Build Team - Maximum size of each team is five (5) builders at a time within the 10 x 10 area. You may have more builders working outside of the 10 x 10 work area, and can also work in shifts within the 10 x 10 area. 3. Build Time - Structures must be built between 8am and 6pm. This gives you ten (10) hours of build time. 4. Props - Props, boxes, and bagged food are discouraged. Try to use as many canned goods as possible, however minor features may use other items accepted by The Food Depot. Try to solve all design problems with food items. 5. Types of Cans - No glass containers, alcoholic beverages or soda, junk food, or pet food (any exceptions must be approved by the committee). All cans must be unopened, with labels intact, and must not be expired. Nutritional canned food of all sizes may be used.

5 C. Design Criteria 1. Design Theme - The theme for our Fourth Annual Event is Rock CAN Roll. 2. Judging Criteria - Keep in mind the following criteria that will be used by the judges: Attention to Detail: Has design team utilized each label to form every detail of the structure? Labels properly positioned? Ingredients: Does structure contain nutritional ingredients? Do they account for all elements of the food pyramid? Design and Structural Ingenuity: Does the structure contain props or non permissible items? Level of difficulty & skill First Impression: Is it creative? Will it create a lasting impression? Does the structure excite or stimulate at first sight? 3. Judging Categories - One sculpture will win in each of the following categories. Winners of each category will automatically be entered into Canstruction s International Competition. Structural Ingenuity Best Use of Labels Best Meal Most Cans Most Original Design People s Choice 4. Judging Rules - Judges will rank each sculpture based on the above criteria. Please adhere to the following rules regarding judging: Design Teams and Sculpture Sponsors are not to interact with judges prior to the end of the judging period. We want all judging to remain fair. Judging in the People s Choice category will take place by the voting public. All winners, including People s Choice, will be announced at the Awards Party. 5

6 CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT THINK OF CAPTURING A MOMENT i.e. an apple is good but an apple with a bite out of it is better THINK OF POP CULTURE REFERENCES What will harness a spectator's attention to get them to focus on hunger and your work of art? THINK OF SOMETHING ABSTRACT What will make someone stop to look at your structure rather than just pass by? Is it interesting? Would you snap a photo of it? FORMS TALL CANS VS. SHORT CANS Short cans (i.e. tuna cans) make great gradual curves but they re expensive! Think of ways to incorporate both cans. Use small cans for the rounded portions and tall cans for straight lines. This will also give more variety of food to the food bank. CANS VS. BOTTLES/BAGS You are allowed to use pudding cups, bottles, bags and packets only as additional pieces and not as the primary structural building blocks (i.e. use for floor texture, floppy ears, tail etc). 6

7 CUBES STRIAGHT CUTS Be sure to create straight cuts on your leveling material for mosaic and cubed structures so that the structure is perfect from all angles. SPHERES ALIGNMENT RODS Wooden dowels, PVC pips and alignment rods are acceptable and recommended for creating circular structures. 7

8 CONES CANTILEVERS Make sure your cantilevers are very gradual so each layer of canned food is being supported by each underlying layer. Fill in interior layers completely for the first few layers. PIXELLATION: Think of each can as a pixel, therefore small objects scaled up or large objects scaled down read better. 8

9 CONTRAST: Contrasting colors allows your structure to stand out from the background when on display. Be sure to pick colors that wont easily blend together. BRIGHTNESS: Bright colors will make your structure stand out from the rest. If you have a choice between white and orange pick orange! 9

13 FLOOR: Get creative with your flooring. Use bags, pudding cups, bottles or tuna cans to create a textured floor. Sometimes the final touches make all the difference and help to keep people away from your structure. 13
