WD-40 Brand is launching the 2025 Repair Challenge, an annual opportunity for DIYers and skilled professionals to showcase their creativity, craftsmanship and the power of a great repair, with one standout fix earning a $5,000 grand prize, according to company officials in a press release.
Through July 14, 2025, participants can enter the contest by submitting a photo or video of their repair project—whether it’s tools, equipment or other items—for a chance to win cash, gift cards or a WD-40 Brand Carhartt tool bag.
“In a world where we often choose to buy new rather than repair what we already have, this challenge celebrates the doers who roll up their sleeves repairing, restoring and renovating. They inspire others to reuse, reinvent and be part of a more responsible way to get the ‘Job Done Right,’ all while getting the chance to be rewarded for their hard work and ingenuity,” said Erin Bala, vice president of U.S. marketing and Americas innovation at WD-40 Company.
The grand prize winner will be awarded $5,000, with the second place winner receiving $3,500 and the 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.
- 13 sixth-place winners: Exclusive WD-40 Brand Carhartt tool bag.
The contest is open to U.S. residents from now until July 14, 2025. Entries can be submitted at repair.wd40.com.
