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: Over the Moon: "Over the Moon" is a work inspired by the halo of garbage in Earth's orbit, all of human waste. I used home found garbage and such items for most of the floating baubles. I used free flowing plaster strips and a balloon for the moon, and I used spray painted cardboard for the base. I am very proud of how it turned out despite challenges I faced during the work process. I believe that this piece accurately depicts the issue of space junk that we have hurled into void and reflects the current Doodads Theme. Artwork by Cadence Bush, artist statement read by her teacher, Mrs. Gonzalez.
