At-Home CANstruction Competition
Gather your at-home crew and get ready to compete in the employee CANstruction contest!
Rules
- Photos of your CANstruction and crew are due by March 24th and will be loaded into a voting platform. The structure with the most votes by March 31st wins a pizza delivery night! The winner will be announced on April 1st.
- Any type of non-perishable building materials may be used but the structure must stand alone (i.e., no building a support and just filling it out with a few items).
- Spouses, kids, roommates, etc. are encouraged to participate since the prize is pizza delivered to your home, for your CANstruction team!
If you have any questions, please contact Michelle – michelle.lynch@zasio.com.
