Sculptures of King Kong and the Empire State Building, made primarily of cans, are part of the Canstruction exhibit, Thursday, Nov. 10, 2005, at the 13th annual NYC Design and Build competition at the New York Design Center in New York. New York city-based architects and engineers compete against each other to see who can build the most spectacular structure out of cans. After the competition and exhibit, which is open to the public, the cans are donated to pantries, soup kitchens, day care and elderly centers to help fight hunger. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
