The purpose of the Competition is to incentivize (1) recycling through Containers for Change and (2) donations to KKA to support its goals and objectives.

The method of the draw will be as follows: Entries will be randomly allocated a number from 1 to 200. A number will be randomly drawn, and the corresponding Entry announced as the Winning Entry. Number allocation and draw may use an electronic number generator or be by physical lottery draw.
