Build, Create, Win: Join the Harley Benton DIY Kit Challenge 2025
Build your own Harley Benton instrument from a DIY kit, show it off in a short video, and enter to win up to 500€ in Thomann vouchers!

Harley Benton’s beloved DIY Kit Challenge is back and it’s bigger and more creative than ever. This is your chance to turn a blank canvas of wood and wires into a one-of-a-kind instrument that could win you up to 500 euros in Thomann vouchers.
The concept is simple: choose a Harley Benton DIY kit, build your own unique instrument, and showcase it in a short video. Post the video on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or YouTube using the hashtag #HBDiyKitChallenge, and make sure to tag Harley Benton on the platform.
That’s it, you’re in the running!
What’s at stake?
A panel of expert judges, including Harley Benton YouTube hosts and Thomann team members, will evaluate entries based on:
Originality
Overall visual impression
Build quality and craftsmanship
Creative features and design
And of course, the finished instrument must not only look great but also be fully playable.
Prizes
🥇 1st Place: 500€ Thomann voucher
🥈 2nd Place: 350€ Thomann voucher
🥉 3rd Place: 200€ Thomann voucher
Deadline for entries
