For the second year in a row, the Deck Building 101 Facebook group is calling on builders to share their best decks online for a chance to win top industry prizes.
The Deck Building 101 Giveaway is open to members of the Deck Building 101 Facebook group, as well as other Facebook deck building groups including the Elite Deck Building Professionals and Custom Deck Builders.

Solo Builder-Designated for the solo deck builder that takes the job from conception to completion as a one-man show.
The seven winners, including the top three overall winners and one winner from each of the four categories above, will be chosen by the editors of Deck Specialist according to the project’s skill level, difficulty, creativity and innovation. Builders can submit projects in multiple categories.
