1. Contest Overview
NES Cornhole Lounge announces the Custom Board Design Contest. Participants are required to submit original visual designs for a standard cornhole board. This competition aligns with the upcoming Dad Games event scheduled for June 27, 2026.

NES Cornhole Lounge functions as a primary provider for custom-designed equipment. This contest demonstrates the facility's capability to transform digital concepts into high-quality sporting goods.

3. Custom Board Manufacturing Standards
NES Cornhole Lounge produces custom boards at a professional grade. The production process involves precision woodworking and advanced printing technology.
3.1 Material Quality
Boards are constructed using premium birch plywood. This material ensures a consistent playing surface and high durability. The frames are built to reduce bounce during impact.

Custom designs are applied using direct-to-wood UV printing. This method ensures the ink bonds with the wood fibers. The result is a vibrant image that does not peel or fade under standard playing conditions.

Each custom set receives multiple layers of professional-grade clear coat. This provides a smooth finish for bag slide and protects the artwork from environmental wear.
