First, second and third place winners will receive Amazon gift card.

The Secondary Materials and Recycled Textiles Association (SMART) has announced its first annual SMART Upcycled Halloween Costume Contest for a chance to win a $200 Amazon gift card, encouraging people to create an upcycled costume using recycled materials they already have rather than purchasing something new.

To enter, contest participants must post at least one photo of their upcycled Halloween costume on SMART’s Facebook page, along with a detailed description of the materials used to make the costume and the hashtag #SMARTHalloween. On Nov. 10 SMART will announce the first, second and third place winners on its Facebook page.

Costumes must be created using at least 70 percent of recycled material, and photos must be original and taken during the 2014 Halloween season (Oct. 1-31, 2014). The contest closes on Nov. 2 at 11:59 p.m. EST. Once the contest closes, SMART’s executive team will choose the first, second and third place contest winners to receive a $200, $100 and $50 Amazon gift card, respectively.
