Plastiki & Klean Kanteen Message in a Bottle Competition

We like to think of the Plastiki as a kind of travelling message in a bottle, and as it completes its last leg of the journey to Sydney we are asking for you to share with us your very own Messages in a Bottle!

To enter the competition you need to submit a photo to this group around the theme of waste in our ocean. This could be…
•A letter to our oceans, mother nature, the Plastiki crew or even world leaders about the changes you would like to see.
•A photograph or drawing you’ve made of waste in the environment
•A plastic fact or even tips on how to be more eco-conscious

We’ve made a couple of our own images to kick-start the competition, but you don’t have to follow our example, you can display your image however you like. It could be…
- A photograph
- Scanned letter or collage
- A message written out of rubbish
- A photo of a written scroll message that would go in a bottle
- A video clip
- or even a photo of you holding up your written message.
What ever grabs your fancy! We just want to hear what you have to say.

We’ll be posting up some of the entries in blogs on our websites and the winners will come from 3 categories
•Over all favourite as chosen by the Adventure Ecology and Klean Kanteen HQ’s
•Plastiki crew favourite
•The most commented photo (how many different people have left a comment on your photo. Plastiki admin comments will not be counted.)
All winners will be sent a special 27oz Plastiki Klean Kanteen bottle and a build your own Plastiki toy boat.

To be in for a chance to win you will also need to join the Klean Kanteen Flickr group which runs monthly promotions. And if you’re one of lucky winners why not add a photo of your new Plastiki Kanteen to the group!

If your passionate about improving ocean health then you can also take the Plastiki Pledge and pledge to give up Plastiki bottles, bags and cups and do your bit to stop plastic pollution.
