Corrosion scavenger hunt giveaway online Join AMPP, the World Corrosion Organization (WCO), and the EFC in shining a spotlight on corrosion this month by taking part in a scavenger hunt that helps raise awareness in a fun, creative way! Join the #CorrosionInEverydayLife Scavenger Hunt this April for your chance to win a stunning corrosion-inspired print by Jean Kittel, a Lyon-based researcher and artist whose work transforms the impact of time on metal into visual poetry. How to enter: STEP 1 | Find and photograph these 6 real-world examples of corrosion in your surroundings: - Rusted Boundaries – Find corrosion on a metal fence or railing, especially at joints or chipped paint areas. - Auto Oxidation – Find rust on a car—such as on the bumper, wheel well, or exhaust—from road salt or moisture. - Sticky Hinges – Find a rusted door hinge, handle, or lock. - Under Pressure – Locate corroded pipes, sprinkler systems, or HVAC components. - Rusty Connections – Spot corroded bolts, screws, or fasteners on signs, benches, or outdoor structures. - Flaking Failures – Spot peeling, bubbling, or cracking paint from corrosion.
STEP 2 | Create a collage, video, or gallery-style post showing all found examples. Include a caption tagging AMPP and using the hashtag #CorrosionInEverydayLife. STEP 3 | Then, submit the link to your post here
Deadline to enter: April 30, 2025 at 11:59 PM CST Two lucky winners will be chosen! Open to participants worldwide, ages 18+. One entry per person. By entering, you give AMPP permission to share your post with credit. Let’s spotlight corrosion in our world—and celebrate the science and art behind it! |

Corrosion Awareness Day 2025 - Social media campaign social media campaign Corrosion is a worldwide challenge, impacting infrastructure, energy, transportation, and water systems. If left unchecked, it leads to serious safety risks, environmental concerns, and financial losses exceeding $2.5 trillion annually. World Corrosion Awareness Day (WCAD) 2025 is an initiative led by the World Corrosion Organization (WCO) to highlight the importance of corrosion prevention and its role in creating a safer, more sustainable future. In collaboration with the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) and the European Federation of Corrosion (EFC), we invite invite engineers, scientists, policymakers, educators, and industry leaders to engage on social media using the campaign hashtags and templates (info will follow soon) Suggested topics: #CorrosionInEverydayLife – Showcase real-world examples of corrosion, from deteriorating infrastructure to aging equipment, and discuss its impact. Be sure to use the campaign hashtags (#WCAD2025) and tag the WCO, AMPP, and EFC in your posts for engagement! |
