Beverage Can Makers Europe said: “Whether you’re a budding Picasso, a Vivienne Westwood in the making, or dab-hand at arts and craft, this is your opportunity to shine. All you need to do is use empty beverage cans to make a canny creation.”

The winner of the competition will get a £1,000 cash prize and a year’s supply of the winner’s favourite canned drink.

The winning designs will be auctioned off to raise money for UK charity the Art Fund.

Supporting the campaign, Miquita Oliver said: “Everyone wants to do their bit for the environment and help make a difference. This competition is a fun way of encouraging more people to recycle, take a fresh look at the packaging of their favourite drink and support a good cause.”
