Freese and Nichols Wins Jurors' Favorite in 2011 CANstruction Competition
13 October, 2011Freese and Nichols was awarded Jurors' Favorite in the 2011 CANstruction® competition benefiting the Tarrant Area Food Bank. This year, Freese and Nichols' CANstructure, titled "Angry Birds Take Aim At Hunger," was based on the virually popular game Angry Birds.
CANstruction® is an international effort that supports local and regional competitions to challenge architects, engineers, interior designers and students to create huge sculptures made from cans of food. The Fort Worth area CANstruction® competition food structures are donated to the Tarrant Area Food Bank to serve families in need in Tarrant County and 13 surrounding counties (after exhibition and judging). As a result, thousands of local hungry people are fed, a greater awareness of the issues surrounding hunger is brought home to the public, and a spotlight is placed on the design and construction industry giving back to the communities it helps build.
Freese and Nichols has participated in CANstruction® for 11 consecutive years, and has donated over 30,421 cans since 2007.
