About the Contest
The contest is simple: Grab a single sheet of plywood and build something amazing — furniture, art, a kids’ toy, whatever inspires you. Then submit your photos and/or video through the entry form at the bottom of this page. Our judges, including celebrity guests Nick Offerman and Lee Buchanan, will pick the winners.
We're looking for household projects—think chairs, tables, bookshelves, desks, benches, storage cabinets, and the like. Entries may be functional or purely artistic.
Entrants must construct a household project from a single 4’ x 8’ sheet of plywood. The contest is skill-based, and winners will be selected based on craftsmanship, creativity, and effective use of materials.
A complete submission must include:
- One or more photos of your completed project
- At least one photo of you with your finished project
- A cut list showing the dimensions of each component
- A sketch or diagram illustrating how all parts nest within a standard 4×8 sheet of plywood
- Optional: Videos documenting the build process are encouraged but not required.
- Materials: Your project must be constructed from a single 4×8-foot sheet of plywood or MDF of one thickness (combining materials from multiple sheets is not permitted). All components of the project must fit within a standard 4x8 footprint.
- Tools: Use whatever tools you have available to build your design. CNC machines are welcome.
- Fasteners & Joinery: All fasteners, specialty furniture hardware and adhesives are permitted.
- Finishes: Finishing products such as paint, stain, sealers, wood filler, etc. are all permitted. Finishing your project is encouraged but not required.
