Canstruction^® Hampton Roads Competition
November 14 - 24 | Selden Arcade | Norfolk, VA

It starts with one can. To feed the hungry. To lift the spirit. To change the world.

For millions, each day begins and ends with the anguish of hunger. Canstruction^®, a charity sponsored by the design and construction industry, is determined to end this suffering.

Canstruction^® is a design/build competition showcasing the talents of design and construction industry professionals and students they mentor. On November 12, teams will be given just 6 hours to defy expectations, logic, and gravity as they build fantastic sculptures from thousands of cans of food. Driven by the knowledge that their structures will change lives – by lifting the spirits of those in need, by raising public awareness, and most importantly, by filling the shelves of the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia – dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to bring their creations to life. The "cantsruction" competition culminates with an Awards Gala November 13.

The following day, November 14, these unconventional art exhibits are opened to the public, the cost of admission – just one can of food.

Canstruction^® is using one can as a catalyst for change. One can to represent the building blocks of these massive sculptures. One can to prove that every act of kindness makes a difference. Through the generosity of volunteers, celebrity judges, and members of the community, Canstruction^® has contributed millions of pounds of food to community food banks – demonstrating that we can win the fight against hunger.

Making a difference. Changing the world. One can.
