The WD-40 Brand Repair Challenge is back, celebrating creativity, craftsmanship and the power of a repair

After inspiring hundreds of doers, makers and fixers to repair the items they rely on every day, WD-40_® Brand is bringing back its Repair Challenge – an open invitation for DIY enthusiasts and skilled professionals to demonstrate that choosing repair over replacement is achievable, powerful and creates a lasting impact.

Now through Aug. 15, participants are encouraged to submit their most impressive repair for a chance to win a $5,000 grand prize. Whether it’s well-worn gear, trusted tools, broken down bikes, old cars, or everyday fixes, all repair projects are welcome.

“Every repair tells a story. Some are quick fixes, but others take real ingenuity, creativity and grit. This challenge is designed to celebrate the people who keep things working longer while highlighting the economic and environmental benefits of repair in today’s throwaway culture,” said Felicia Reno, U.S. brand director at WD-40 Company.

The grand prize winner will receive $5,000, with second place winner receiving $3,500 and third place winner receiving $2,000. Participants will also have the chance to win a $100 Lowe’s® gift card through weekly sweepstakes. Additional prizes will be awarded to:

• Four fourth-place winners: $500 Lowe’s gift card.
• Three fifth-place winners: $250 Lowe’s gift card.
• Thirteen sixth-place winners: Exclusive WD-40 Brand Carhartt® tool bags.

The contest is open to U.S. residents from June 1 at 12 a.m. PT through Aug. 14, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Entries can be submitted at repair.wd40.com. No purchase necessary, subject to official rules.
