Welcome to the 2026 DooDad Sculpture Competition!

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.  

Thank you to every student artist who participated and to the educators who encouraged their creativity!

Description: Keys to Humanity: My project is about the future of AI and its setbacks and how they affect what makes us human—our creativity and emotions. The materials I used came from a 2008 laptop that I took apart. I used the keys, wires, and circuit boards to create this project. The wires show how AI has taken control over us, the circuit boards represent our minds, and the keys represent our speech. The sculpture represents flying into the future, but in a way that shows how technology could also set us back.
