🚫 Any kite that has already won in a previous Basuranggola competition is NOT eligible to join.
Your kite must clearly reflect environmental responsibility — especially reducing plastic waste. We are not just flying kites. We are flying statements.
🛠 DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES
This is where creativity meets responsibility.
SIZE: No size limit. Go big. Go bold. Just make sure it flies!
MATERIALS: At least 90% of your kite must be made from recycled materials.
🚫 NOT ALLOWED:
Styrofoam
Newly purchased plastics (Garbage Bag)
Toxic materials
Pre-made or commercially bought kite components
If you use materials that look new (fabric, parachute cloth, garbage bags, etc.), you MUST submit a photo of the material in its original recycled form as proof.
Failure to provide proof may result in disqualification.
📸 PRE-APPROVAL REQUIREMENT
Participants must submit a photo of their finished kite at least THREE (3) days before the event for materials review and approval.
The organizers reserve the right to deny flight if the kite has not been pre-approved.
CONSTRUCTION RULE
Each kite must be:
✔ Handmade
✔ Originally designed by the participant
✔ Not commercially assembled
This is about creativity, not convenience.
