PensaCan is a creative competition where anyone (architectural firms, businesses, clubs, local organizations, students, etc.) can assemble a build team to create impressive structures made entirely out of full cans of food. After the structures are built, a panel of local celebrity judges will vote in categories such as Best Graphics, Best Logo Sculpture, Best Nutrition, Best Structural Ingenuity, and more. After a week-long display of the exceptional sculptures, all the nutritional, non-perishable food is donated to Manna for distribution to our hungry neighbors in need throughout Northwest Florida. The winners of each award will be announced during the annual PensaCan Awards Ceremony at Culinary Productions.
