Instructables' Plywood Challenge with Prizes Worth of $2250

Instructables.com has launched a new challenge under the theme of "Remix Challenge", and everyone with creative mind is invited to take part. Projects must include actual plywood. Other manufactured sheet goods such as particle board, OSB, or MDF (this article outlines the differences) may be used in addition - but these materials alone will not meet the contest requirement.

Document your project and teach us how you made it, and you could win a gift card to buy more plywood - or whatever else you want!

About Instructables:

Instructables is a place that lets you explore, document, and share your creations. The seeds of Instructables germinated at the MIT Media Lab as the future founders of Squid Labs built places to share their projects, connect with others, and make an impact on the world. One of these early places was a blog Zeroprestige, which was an open source hardware experiment for kitesurfing. Here they documented their hand-sewn kites, plywood boards, and other general mayhem that happens when PhDs and high winds collide.

Instructables was officially spun out of Squid Labs in the summer of 2006, and has gone on to grow from a modest hundreds of projects to over one hundred thousand. The community that now calls the site home, is an amazing mix of wonder from around the world. Every day we continue to be amazed by the imagination, curiosity, and simple awesomeness of everyone who shares their creations with us on Instructables.
