TAMPA - Bigger is better when it comes to the annual Charit-a-Bull can sculpture competition.

Ten teams competed in the event to kick off homecoming this week at the University of South Florida. Each team had 90 minutes to turn its collected canned goods into works of art.

The teams had to use the canned goods as their primary material but could add other items to finish the piece.

One team, made up of fraternity and sorority members from Alpha Delta Pi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Pi Kappa Alpha, made football jerseys out of felt for some canned products in the re-creation of a USF football game at Raymond James Stadium. The team used 1,125 cans to create the structure.

The honor for top canned-good sculptors went to the Phoenician Bullies, which created a USF-themed iPod out of more than 3,000 cans. The winning team received points that went toward the rest of the homecoming week competitions.

The ultimate winner, however, was Metropolitan Ministries, which received the 12,000 canned goods after the competition.
