First prize is $2,500. Second prize is $1,500. Third prize is $500. Fourth prize is a big bag of nothing.
Here's a look at some of the entries from last year's competition:

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.

Design/Build Competition: Make Something Out of One Bag of Quikrete
To the author who wrote this article, thank you for featuring my work. I believe you should credit each person's work in this article.
Agreed, he should give credit.
Is the fifth one from the top, a footrest / floor-mat made with literally just the bag of quikrete?
How do you think they made the winning entry? Really soak some kind of fabric withquikrete and sort of slop it over a small table until it set?
I was thinking the same thing! Visually not my fave, but technically, is, how did they do it?
Mix wet concrete with burlap and set it over a shape. You can reinforce the structure with more layers if required.
