How to Enter

  1. Take Photos or Videos of your repair project. We’d love to see before, during, and after shots to show your full journey.
  2. Share Your Story – Tell us what you fixed, why it mattered to you, and how you did it. The more detail and personality, the better.

  4. Watch for Winners – After submissions close, our judges will select top entries and announce the winners later this summer.

Repair for the Win

Last year’s Challenge saw everything from restored motorcycles and full-size vehicles to mended antique furniture and heirloom tools brought back to life. These impressive projects showcased not just technical skill, but heart, creativity, and a love for making things work again. Many past entrants relied on WD-40 Brand products like WD-40 Smart Straw®, as well as formulas from the WD-40 Specialist® line including our Penetrant with EZ-REACH® and Degreaser & Cleaner EZ-Pods to get the job done.

Prizes Galore

This isn’t a “winner takes all” kind of contest. Everyone gets a chance to score big with cash and other prizes. In addition to the grand prize of $5,000, awards will also be given to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th places. Check out what you could win:

  • 1st Place: $5,000
  • 2nd Place: $3,500
  • 3rd Place: $2,000
  • 4th Place: 4 winners, $500 Lowe’s gift card
  • 5th Place: 3 winners, $250 Lowe’s gift card
  • 6th Place: 13 winners, a WD-40 Branded Carhartt® Tool Bag

That’s a total of 23 possible prizes! Don’t wait, start your project today and show us what you’ve got.

Don’t Forget Your “Why”

The Repair Challenge isn’t just about winning—it’s about celebrating the power of repair. It’s about valuing what we have, reducing waste, and showing that a little time and the right tools can breathe new life into the old and worn. If you’ve got a project in mind—or one that’s already underway—this is your sign. Grab your tools, get to work, and let the world see what you can do.
