C2 Cool and Clean Awards Winners of Christmas Tree-Making Contest

It seems just a few months ago when C2 Cool and Clean had its Sarap ng Bukas music video making contest. I am surprised that it has been two years!

This 2013, C2 created another milestone when it launched its first ever C2 Sarap ng Christmas Tree-Making Contest. This event aims to bring relevant and memorable experiences to both the young and the young-at-heart. 

NCBA's winning entry

Various schools from all over Metro Manila tried their hand at building beautiful Christmas trees using hundreds of C2 bottles in less than a month. What they came up with were really impressive! Out of many entries, 10 made it to the finals. The trees were displayed at the fountain area of Market! Market! in Bonifacio Global City.
