# [Check out the winners of the Freestyle Flip Upcycle Challenge](https://restore.tchabitat.org/blog/winners-of-the-freestyle-flip-upcycle-challenge)

 Written by [Jared Laabs](https://restore.tchabitat.org/blog/author/jared-laabs) | 3:26 PM on September 17, 2019

We had nine creative entries for the [Freestyle Flip Upcycle Challenge](https://restore.tchabitat.org/blog/announcing-the-freestyle-flip-upcycle-challenge). In contrast to the Earth Day Upcycle Challenge where people gave a chair some flair, this "freestyle" competition was different. Participants didn't have any limitations or material restrictions. And as you can see from all of the [entries posted on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/ReStoreTwinCities), there was a variety of projects, big and small.

Everyone was invited to vote in store and online through Facebook. A "like" on an individual photo was considered a vote, and the votes are in!  **Below are your top three winners:**

### Third Place

and winner of a 10% discount ReStore card, valid for one year.

### Second Place

and winner of a 20% discount ReStore card, valid for one year.

### First Place

and winner of a 35% discount ReStore card, valid for one year. 

### Next Steps:

- Some of the winning projects, along with some honorable mentions, will be featured on a [DIY Friday](https://restore.tchabitat.org/diyfriday) segment on WCCO.
- Winners will be contacted by ReStore staff and will be awarded their discount cards within a few weeks.
- ReStore staff will also contact anyone who requested they have their project returned.
- Many of the projects have been donated and will be sold to support [affordable homeownership](https://home.tchabitat.org/) through Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity.

Be sure to [subscribe to our Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/ReStoreTwinCities) to stay in the loop. You may also want to subscribe to the [ReStoration Corner blog](https://restore.tchabitat.org/subscribe-for-restore-news) in case we launch another upcycle challenge in the future.
