Wear Recycling on Your Sleeve this November

Keep America Beautiful Announces T-shirt Design Contest

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Oct.25, 2012) — Go blue or go red this November, but first, go green with America Recycles Day.

America Recycles Day is celebrated nationwide each Nov. 15, and raises awareness about the benefits of recycling through an array of educational and collection events. To build momentum this year, national nonprofit Keep America Beautiful (KAB) is working with Shirt.Woot.com to conduct a t-shirt design “derby” around the theme of recycling. Design submissions and voting occur simultaneously now through Nov. 1.

Public voting will determine the first winner Nov. 1, and two more winners will be selected by Shirt.Woot, and Keep America Beautiful, respectively. All three shirts will be available for purchase on Shirt.Woot.com and all three winners will receive a prize pack from Keep America Beautiful and America Recycles Day sponsors as well as a cash prize from Shirt.Woot.

Recycling is something on which we can all agree. Help your favorite t-shirt design find its way to the printer by casting your vote, and then join the national recycling movement by wearing your shirt on Nov. 15. To vote, submit a design, or learn more, visit Shirt.Woot.com.
