For the sixth consecutive year, the Asheville Habitat ReStore at 31 Meadow Road near Biltmore Village is encouraging residents to show off their creativity and talent for a chance to win the ReStore ReUse Contest. Garden shed, artist studio, chicken coop…tree house, dog house, playhouse…if you recently built a structure like this using predominantly reused building materials, Habitat wants to know. The contest runs July 1-August 31 and submissions must be sent electronically. Information and entry form will be available on ashevillehabitat.org starting July 1st.
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: Best in Show, Furniture,
Homesteading, Live/Work Space, and the new categories of Home Décor and Youth
(age 16 and under).
Past projects
have been diverse and included everything from kitchen islands, fences, raised
garden beds, and pallet furniture to dog houses, little free libraries, and
tiny homes. To see photos from the 2016 contest, click here.
