"It's great to see the enthusiasm from our community for such a worthy cause," Parkes Shire Deputy Mayor Barbara Newton said.
"There is so much local talent, we hope the extended time will give our community members the opportunity to submit their work for this wonderful exhibition."
Waste to Art's aim is to challenge perceptions about 'rubbish' and to celebrate the reuse and recycling of waste through arts and crafts.
Waste to Art provides an innovative approach to waste education, invites schools and community groups to take up the challenge and create a new life for materials that would otherwise have been thrown away.
The competition and exhibition is open to all community members, artists and schools who currently reside in the NetWaste region.
