Here’s How It Works:
Grab one of Harley Benton’s popular DIY Kits, build and customize your dream instrument, and show it off in a short video. Once your masterpiece is ready, share your video on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or YouTube using the hashtag #HBDiyKitChallenge. That’s it!
The challenge runs from Tuesday, April 15th to Monday, June 16th, so there’s plenty of time to plan, build, and polish up your entry.
Prizes Up For Grabs:
- 1st Place: €500 Thomann voucher
- 2nd Place: €350 Thomann voucher
- 3rd Place: €200 Thomann voucher
Winners will be selected by the Harley Benton team based on originality, visual impact, craftsmanship, and of course — whether the instrument is playable and unique.
Got an idea for wild paintwork, an engraved fretboard, or LEDs in the body? This is your moment to shine!
