Campus Christmas Tree Contest

Jump to Comments

I had the chance to drop by and preview the exhibition for Friday’s contest this afternoon. This year’s theme is trees made of recycled materials, and identifiable with the colleges they represent. If judging will go by the guidelines, only few can actually qualify for a prize, out of the eleven entries, IMHO. People seem to confuse “recycled” with “native”, or indigenous. You know… materials from palm, corn, etc. So most of the trees are either made of these, if not lacking in visual appeal. I think the competition is only between these two: from the College of Dentistry, empty anesthetic cartridges refilled with colored water and made into florets using tie wire, then tied to a conical wire frame. My pictures don’t give justice to its optical effect. They also went OA over the recycled theme, using only empty dental alginate bags in lieu of tinfoil to cover the frame beneath, and the legs. The second one comes from the College of Computer Studies obviously. In pictures, it looks more like a robot than for it to be seriously considered a tree. But its whimsy is in the mechanical rotating “star” on top.
