The deadline for UC’s Produce Collage Contest has been extended to Nov. 30, so if you haven’t created your masterpiece yet, check out the contest now.

It’s UC’s latest outreach effort that invites you to create a collage using food imagery and submitting it to UC’s Produce Collage Contest. Three designs selected as favorites will each win $75 gift certificates to LocalHarvest, where you can purchase locally grown food products and support local agriculture.

So, go ahead and play with your food! The contest is open to legal U.S. residents over the age of 13 with a valid Facebook account. It is open from now until 11:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on Sunday, Nov. 30, 2014.

Here’s how you can create your own collage:

1. Visit UC’s Power of Public website and click on Make one now. Then follow the instructions to create your collage. (Click the Facebook contest page button for inspiration!)
2. Click Submit your collage to post your collage to the Facebook page and officially enter it in the UC Produce Collage Contest.
3. A panel of judges will review submissions for creativity. Those selected will be featured on the main University of California Facebook page and entered into a photo album where everyone can “like” their favorites.
4. Share your collage with friends and check out other submissions on UC’s Facebook page to vote for your favorites.
5. The three collages that receive the most likes by Nov. 30 will each win a $75 LocalHarvest gift card. Winners will be notified by the University of California directly via Facebook and have 15 days to claim their gift card.
