The second annual Dropbox Derby, Portland’s unique design-build challenge, will take place on Labor Day along the Eastbank Esplanade festival lots between Southeast Madison and Salmon streets. There, 20 teams of builders, artists and designers will compete to assemble unique creations made of salvaged materials.

Teams will be given a theme only 24 hours before the competition as well as a list of salvaged materials they must use in their creations. Then, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sept. 3, in front of spectators, teams will race the clock to complete their projects.

Judging will follow, and awards will be given. Then a silent auction will take place.

鈥淲e’re very excited that the proceeds from this year’s auction will go to the Oregon Tradeswomen Inc., an organization dedicated to women in the trades,鈥� Stephen Reichard of Lovett Deconstruction stated in a press release. 鈥淭he Dropbox Derby celebrates sustainability and design in a friendly, fun and quintessentially Portland atmosphere.鈥�

Activities will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
