Texas Campaign For The Environment Hosts Trash Makeover Challenge

ROUND ROCK, TX — Austin-area friends and neighbors are invited a unique and virtual event that celebrates creativity and can be enjoyed from the comfort and safety of home. The 10th Annual Trash Makeover Challenge is a high profile contest for fashion designers, stylists and models to create original high fashion looks made of recycled and recovered materials hosted by the Texas Campaign for the Environment. This year celebration honors the 29th anniversary of Texas Campaign for the Environment, and the 10th year of the Trash Makeover Challenge.
