Not-for-profit organisation Reviva has launched their annual Reviva Reuse Competition, giving Noosa locals a chance to showcase their creative reuse and upcycling projects for a chance to win cash prizes.
Reviva Noosa manager Mitch McIntrye said, “This competition is the highlight of our year because it showcases the incredible ideas and talents in our community.”
“We often have customers chat with us about their upcycling projects, all eager to enter and win the competition.”
Now in its fifth year, the Reviva Reuse Competition has become a much-loved event that showcases the creative reuse projects of our talented community.
Past entries have featured everything from repurposed clothing transformed into bedspreads to intricate mosaic art made from broken tiles, and even entire kitchens crafted from upcycled materials.
“This year, we’re offering a national prize of a $300 Visa gift card, along with a local prize of a $200 Visa gift card,” Mitch said.
“Every Reviva site across Australia is cheering for their local entrants, but we’re confident that the top prize will go to someone from Noosa —the talent and ideas here are unmatched.”
The Reviva team at Noosa are ready to support locals with inspiration and assistance in entering the competition.
“Upcycling helps reduce waste and the demand for new raw materials, making it a simple yet effective way to care for our planet,” Mitch said.
“It’s about taking old, discarded items and transforming them into something useful. Our community never ceases to amaze us with what they can create.”
With the cost of living on the rise, upcycling and reuse have become even more important.
“By upcycling, you can save money while making the most of what you already own instead of buying new items,” Mitch said.
Entry to the Reviva Reuse Competition is open to all members of the community.

The competition runs until the end of National Recycling Week, with entries closing on Friday 15 November 2024.
