VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Mallgoers in Virginia Beach are getting a look at a unique project in the center of Lynnhaven Mall.
On Sunday morning, teams of architects and engineers started building structures out of canned food. It’s called the Canstruction® Design and Build Competition. Each team has eight hours to build their structures.
Winners of the competition will be announced Tuesday evening.
The event is a fundraiser in which all canned goods will be given to the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore. Organizers say it's more than 15,000 cans.
Deborah Gill, President of Canstruction Hampton Roads explained, "This project started 30 years ago as a community service project for the architectural and engineering industry across the United States."
The creations will remain on display for the public to view through Saturday, March 25.
Check back for updates as News 3 will post more videos of the art projects.
