QUIKRETE® One Bag Wonder Contest Call for DIY Project Entries

Win $2,500 and Trip to Charleston, S.C. to Exhibit at Haven
Conference

ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#1BagWonder–A water recycling concrete toilet tank top took top honors in 2016 and a
floating concrete ghost table landed first prize in 2017, so
anticipation is high for the 2018
QUIKRETE® One Bag Wonder contest entries. QUIKRETE®,
the leading manufacturer of packaged concrete, will award the three most
creative, well-crafted and high-quality DIY projects entered into the
annual QUIKRETE® One Bag Wonder contest monetary prizes and a
trip to Charleston, S.C. for the Haven
Conference.

“We’ve been blown away by the QUIKRETE® One Bag Wonder
projects the past two years and look forward to more of the same this
year,” said Frank Owens, Vice President of Marketing for The QUIKRETE®
Companies. “The vision people have for transforming a single bag of
QUIKRETE® into beautiful, functional pieces of furniture,
decorations and other home improvement projects is inspirational. We
want to spread that inspiration, so we’re sharing the winning projects
with the country’s leading DIY bloggers at the Haven Conference. Using
concrete for DIY projects continues to grow in popularity and the
QUIKRETE® One Bag Wonder contest is proof of this movement.”

From April 28 through June 4, DIY projects created with one bag of any
QUIKRETE® concrete mix can be entered by emailing three
photos or a video with a 200-word description that includes the
inspiration and step-by-step instructions to [email protected]
or by posting the same information on social media with
#QUIKRETE1BagWonder. QUIKRETE®
will be joined by the Home
Projects Council, a think tank of home improvement experts, in
judging the projects based on creativity, craftsmanship and quality. The
winners will be announced on June 11 with first place receiving $2,500,
second place $1,500 and third place $500. Winners will also receive
airfare and hotel accommodations to Charleston, S.C. for the Haven
Conference from July 12-14 where their projects will be exhibited by
QUIKRETE®.
