The Upcycled Disc Challenge Is Here!
Turn trash into treasure and win epic prizes, all while celebrating Earth Day.
Reimagine & Repurpose
We’re inviting disc dyers from around the world to take on a challenge that’s creative, meaningful, and just a little bit wild.
The Mission?
Take a used disc, one you already own or find in a used bin, and give it a brand-new life. Dye it. Transform it. Turn it into something functional.
A Wall Clock.
A Trophy.
A Piece of Art.
A Planter.
A Conversation Piece.
Whatever It Is,
Make It Useful, Beautiful, and Inspiring.
Together, we can show the disc golf community that sustainability and creativity go hand in hand.
Because One Disc Can
Make a Difference
Every year, thousands of discs end up in landfills. Cracked, lost, forgotten — but still full of potential.
This Earth Day, the Dyers Guild is proving that creativity is one of the most sustainable tools we have.
By dyeing and upcycling old plastic, we’re keeping discs in play and out of the trash.
“One disc won’t save the planet… but one decision can start a movement.”
How It Works
Find a Used Disc
Grab one you already own or pick up a used disc locally.
Dye It Creatively
Use your favorite dye techniques to give it life and color.
Make It Functional
Turn your disc into something new — a clock, wall art, planter, trophy, and more.

Dyeing for a Cause
The Upcycled Disc Challenge is about more than dyeing, it’s about sustainability.
It’s about rethinking the stuff we throw away, and proving that disc golf can be both creative and environmentally conscious.
When we choose to reuse, we reduce waste and celebrate what makes this community special.
FAQ
Can I enter more than once?
Yes! You can submit multiple entries — just make sure each one is a unique creation with its own Instagram post using the hashtag #DyersGuildEarthDay2025.
What qualifies as a “used disc”?
Any disc that has been thrown, owned, or previously used — including ones you find in a used bin, trade for, or dig out of your stash. The goal is to upcycle and reduce waste.
Do I need to be a professional dyer to enter?
Not at all! This challenge is open to all skill levels. We’re judging creativity, not perfection.
Does my project have to be functional?
Yes. This challenge is all about giving discs a new purpose. It must be both dyed and transformed into something useful — like a clock, wall art, trophy, planter, or any creative idea you can come up with!
