Junk to Funk Recycled Fashion Show Contest is an annual production in Portland, Oregon aimed to educate it's audiences about waste reduction, recycling issues and to inspire creative re-use.  We do this in a most unique way: through showcasing wearable art and couture fashion based on the creative use of “trash” in an eclectic and often humorous production.  Created and produced by Elysium Events, Junk to Funk is thrilled to work in collaboration with Scrap (School & Community Reuse Action Project) inspiring creative reuse and environmentally sustainable behavior by providing education programs and affordable materials to the community.

Junk to Funk is a collective of art, education, environment, business and policy innovators who inspire individual towards responsible consumerism, creative re-use and conscientious disposal by providing unique fashion based entertainment and educational opportunities.
