The competition portion of the 2025 Repurposed DooDad Sculpture Competition has officially concluded, and we are incredibly grateful to the students, teachers, families, and schools who brought this year’s theme to life with such imagination and ingenuity.

From inventive uses of obsolete objects to thoughtful interpretations of “Florida, Flying into the Future,” the sculptures submitted this year demonstrated the creativity, humor, and environmental awareness that make the DooDad Competition so special.

Judging and People’s Choice Voting has completed! 🎉

While the judging is complete, the celebration continues! Many of this year’s sculptures are now being featured in exhibitions throughout the Tampa Bay area.

Description: Flying Electric Bus: Hi, my name is Elina Pirtle. I am 10 and I am in the 4th grade. I built an electric flying bus out of two DVD players. Buses are better for the planet than cars because they hold more people. Also, if they were electric, no gas would be polluting the air. If we could travel in the air, we could fly over Florida's many forests, lakes and swamps without having to build roads through them and taking homes from animals. For research, I looked at photos of flying cars from movies. I hope you like my flying bus!
