HERE ARE THE THREE CATEGORIES

Once you’ve decided which one best suits your project, submit your pics!

1 Most Beautiful

If you’re all thumbs and have a fear of power tools but you oversaw a gorgeous renovation and paid for it, consider this option.

*Even if a contractor completed 100% of the physical work, you are eligible for this prize.

2 Innovation

If you fancy yourself an out-of-the-box thinker, this category is for you. It could be a mobile home, an outdoor kitchen – you name it!

*Whether you did it yourself or managed the project, feel free to enter your makeover here.

3 DIY

This one is for avid DIYers who did at least 50% of the work themselves. So if knocking down walls or retiling doesn’t scare you, go for it!

*You’ll have to submit a budget breakdown and show what you did with your own two hands.
