Junk to Funk 2026

Junk to Funk 2026 entries are LIVE!

Get ready for another year of creativity, celebration, and incredible upcycling magic! This year we’ve made some exciting changes – including a brand new Pre-school category after we listened to the very important feedback from one disappointed 4-year-old who wanted to enter too

We’ve also refreshed the adult categories, now split into Funktional and Upcycled Art, to better celebrate both practical creations and artistic masterpieces made from rescued materials.

And thanks to our amazing sponsors, the prizes are even bigger and better this year – while we’ve still kept the entry prices low so everyone can get involved!

Whether you’re a first-time creator or a seasoned Junk to Funk legend, now’s the time to start collecting, creating, and turning junk into something fabulous. Find all the details and enter via the Junk to Funk Entries 2026 page.

Sunday 19th July – online entries close if not already at capacity! Public Exhibition & People’s Choice Voting, Sunday 2 August 2026,10:00am – 2:00pm. Come along to view the creations and vote for your favourite!
