We we're so excited to see the really really fantastic and well built cardboard constructions coming in from school teams and family teams that had planned and built together before the event day. Amazing!

Rainbow Bridge International School's team consisted of an dedicate gang of third and fourth graders led by the school's inspiring Art Teacher Mr Andrew. They brought in three cardboard structures around 1 meter high and the jury honored them them with the award for Most Resemblance With Shanghai Landmark for the Pearl Tower.

Her name is Cool and after receiving the invitation to Cardboard Shanghai 2 via her school she convinced her father to work real hard on her homework after the event, if she just could get permission to participate in Cardboard Shanghai 2.

We are happy  that Cool dad agreed to this arrangement. Team Cool's brought this tall beautiful JinMao Tower. We learnt it's made from 100 pc of discarded holiday/new year greeting cards from last year, folded into triangular building parts. The jury awarded Cool and her dad with "Best Construction" for this building. 

And this creative team of two did another great construction during the day that also was awarded - take a look further down the list at the award for "Highest Building".

Last year's overall winner's YK Pao School was joining in this year too with a new team and new ideas. The team with grade 5 students have made every little detail themselves in this with no use of sharp knives. Many intriguing features and special are shown in the details and you can see that the team have put a lot of efforts in the making of this construction work of "Plaza 117" and its neighborhood.

Team Kai managed to register for the award competition in the very last minute when they jury was halfway through the tour of Cardboard Shanghai. Turned out to be a lucky strike because the jury really liked this teams' simple but unmistakable take on Jing'an Temple and gave them an award for Most Interesting Details.

5-year old Garen and his dad Jeffery came directly to our Construction Site when doors opened in the morning and started to build what was going to be a very nice tree house. The team  kept the focus and worked hard for a long time.  The jury was impressed by this unique idea for a building and how it was constructed and awarded Team Garen with "Most Creative Idea" award.

Team Tanya dropped in to the Construction Site during the day and put a lot of effort in making their house beautiful with the materials available with creative use of tape and ribbons. Tanya explained that she made this house for her grandmother. 
Team Tanya was given the "Best Decorated" award.

Two families teamed up and brought in this  futuristic construction and made the last finishes on the construction and decorations at the Construction Site during the day. "Team Spaceship Shanghai" was given the "Most Colorful" award by the jury.

Grade 4 student Cool and her dad, as you read above, won an award for the fantastic Jinmao Tower made of old greeting cards. It turns out that this team was creative, focused and fast builders, and after a while at our Construction Site they registered yet another cardboard construction for the award competition.

In Pi-team, mom and daughter, put together the boat from the book and movie "Life of Pi", except this one had no tiger in it. The jury awarded this construction with the "Most Surprising"-award.

Shanghai Singapore International School - Green Club (SSIS) made a miniature Pudong area with the Pearl Tower, World Financial Center, Century Park, China Pavillions with many details as clouds, people, trees etc and with a mix of recycled materials as rolled newspapers, styrofoam, food containers and bubble wrap the jury awarded them the "Best Use of Recycled Material"

At Rainbow Bridge International School, Art teacher mr Andrew and students from grade 3 and 4 are in full speed of making cardboard buildings and sculptures for Cardboard Shanghai 2 on April 13th. As we hear they are aiming to bring the Pearl Tower, Taipei 101 and the Statue of Liberty.  We're looking forward to see the construction work.

Shanghai Family Magazine have published an interview with Anne Murray, Art Teacher at YK Pao and leader of the student team from the school. Last year her YK Pao team was honored with the  overall best building award by a pleased jury. Read about their plans for this year here:
