Melville, NY Congratulation to Nelson + Pope/Nelson Pope Voorhis (N+P/NPV) for winning Best Use of Labels during their participation in the design build competition for Canstruction Long Island, where firms from the AEC industry compete in designing and building giant incredible structures that are self-supporting and made entirely out of canned food.

The structure a Carved PumpCAN and a Friendly Ghost used a variety of ingredients and colored labels to create the images in the structure. This doubled faced wall contains over 2,000 cans and yields 1,508 meals to help our community with food insecurity. The event in total raised over 32,000 cans. All food from the event was donated to four local food organizations and includes: The Interfaith Nutrition Network, Island Harvest Food Bank, Long Island Cares, Inc./The Harry Chapin Food Bank, and The NEST at Nassau Community College.
