Every year, middle school students have the opportunity to create works of art from trash in the POP (Protect Our Planet) Art Contest. The contest is designed to promote environmental awareness and highlight the creative talents of students in Horry County. Students create a work of art using at least 70% of a specified material, normally thrown away, as chosen by the Solid Waste Authority. The 2010-11 material is used CDs and the entry deadline is November 15, 2010 and the winner will be announced in December 2010. All entries must be delivered to the Horry County Solid Waste Authority administration building at 1886 Highway 90, Conway by 4:30 pm on the deadline.
