Join the Upcycle Challenge

We have some exciting news: our Upcycle Challenge is back!

 

Do you have a passion for creativity and a knack for transforming furniture? Then this is the perfect opportunity for you!

The Upcycle Challenge is a contest in which individuals take donated ReStore furniture and "Upcycle" it into something new. Whether it's completely transforming the piece or giving it a fresh new design, the possibilities are endless. We are looking for talented individuals to participate in this year's challenge. If you're ready to showcase your upcycling skills, now is the time to apply!

 

The deadline to join the contest is Monday, October 21, 2024, and the deadline to complete the Upcycle project is Monday, November 18, 2024. Take your chance to be part of this incredible event.

What's in it for you? Aside from the satisfaction of breathing new life into old furniture, cash prizes are up for grabs! The winner and the first and second runners-up will be awarded exciting cash prizes. But that's not all; for the first time, we will auction off these beautiful creations, with proceeds going to Habitat Red Deer. Your Upcycle project will help us build more affordable homes in Central Alberta! 

So, if you're ready to unleash your creativity and show the world what you're made of, apply now and join the Upcycle Challenge. Let's make old things new again!
