Overview

Summer is in full swing, and it is time to get outside and soak up the sun. Let’s make the most of it, shall we?

Our partners at Zoro are sponsoring an Outdoor Workshop contest this summer. The rules are simple: your project must be something that was to be used outdoors. Other than that, let your imagination and ingenuity run free. Build a new sprinkler for your kid, a sprinkler for your dog, or a sprinkler for yourself. Or something entirely unrelated to sprinklers. It’s up to you.

Entries are due by July 7th. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
If you’re looking for inspiration or for items to add to your tool chest, check out http://zoro.com. Zoro has over 400,000 products to outfit your workshop, from hand tools and power tools to specialty products that are too numerous to name in DIY categories like hydraulics, gears, electrical supplies, and much more.

Please be sure that your entry into the contest contains original photos and text. Entries without original photos and text will be denied.

Multiple entries are accepted, but each entrant can only win one prize. Contest is open to entries from the US. The Contest begins at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time (PT), 6/9/2104. Contest closes for entries at 11:59pm PT, 07/07/2014.

The winner(s) will be solely responsible for complying with any and all applicable statutes, laws (including, without limitation, common law, if applicable), rules and regulations and for bearing any personal income tax, VAT, withholding taxes, customs duties, or other taxes, fees, insurance, surcharges or other costs relating to receiving, claiming or collecting any prize.
