White Box Challenge 2026

Join us for the annual ASID MN White Box Challenge, celebrating creativity, innovation, and design. Think Outside the Box Inside each White Box is one mystery item. Your challenge? Transform it into something completely unexpected. There are no limits to what you can create—art, sculpture, furniture, fashion, lighting, mixed media, functional design. If you can dream it, you can build it. White Boxes are still available — but they're going fast, so grab yours today if you want to be part of the challenge! Purchase a "White Box Creator Ticket," then pick up your box at the 29Park Showroom. Whether you're an interior designer, architect, artist, student, maker, or simply someone who loves to create, this is your chance to think outside the box—and have fun doing it. Not feeling crafty? You can still be part of the excitement! Join us for the Reveal Party hosted by 29 Park, where every creation is displayed gallery-style for an evening of networking, inspiration, food, drinks, and friendly competition. Bring a friend and vote for your favorite creation as we celebrate the incredible talent of our creative community. A panel of guest judges will select the winners in the judged categories, while Reveal Party attendees vote for the People's Choice Award. Awards • Best Use of the Mystery Item • Most Out-of-the-Box Creation • Most Instagrammable Creation • People's Choice Award Winners receive prizes courtesy of 29 Park. Teams Welcome! Participants are encouraged to invite a friend, contractor, architect, student, artist, or fellow creative to collaborate on their project. Each team member should purchase an Additional Team Member ticket.
