The purpose
of the contest is to showcase innovative building projects constructed
predominantly of used building materials. “Our customers often tell us about
the projects they make using materials purchased at the ReStore. This contest
is a great way to showcase their projects and inspire others to reuse, recycle
and repurpose usable building materials and supplies,” said Scott Stetson,
ReStore General Manager.
Five judges
will select winners in the following categories: Furniture, Homesteading,
Live/Work Space, and Best in Show. The public will be encouraged to vote for their
favorite entry (People’s Choice Award) in the ReStore and on-line starting in
early September. Details will be announced later this summer.
