(Portland, Oregon) – Submissions of wearable art are currently being sought to be showcased in the 1st annual Junk to Funk Recycled Fashion Show Contest. The pieces of wearable art and fashion are to be made out of found objects, recycled materials and things you normally might find in the trash.

Professional artists, fashion and apparel designers along with members of the general creative public will not want to miss this truly unique opportunity to compete for prizes up to $500 in the upcoming Junk to Funk fashion show.

The Junk to Funk fashion show will be held on December 2, 2006 at the Wonder Ballroom in Northeast Portland, and is a benefit for ORLO; a non-profit organization that uses the creative arts to explore and bring awareness to environmental issues.

All entries will be review by a panel of judges to determine which pieces will be featured during the Junk to Funk fashion show being held at the Wonder Ballroom on December 2, 2006. All submissions accepted into the fashion show will be featured in a pre-show VIP reception while also having the opportunity to compete for up to $500 in cash & prizes.

The entry deadline for submissions is October 25, 2006. Entry forms and rules can be found at www.junktofunk.org.
