2008 Home of the Year contest

If you’ve got a home that’s stylish and full of personality, take some photos, grab a stamp, and you could wind up in the November 2008 issue of Seattle Homes & Lifestyles! To enter our 2008 Home of the Year contest, follow the instructions below:


TO ENTER:
1. In a cover letter, briefly describe the home and the homeowners. Include the homeowners’ daytime phone number(s) and the names and phone numbers of all involved professionals—architect, interior designer and/or landscape designer—as well as the home’s location, furnishings, finishes and plantings. Homeowners must live in Western Washington, be willing to be identified by name in the magazine and be available for interviews and a photo shoot in July, August or September 2008.

2. Send color photographs—jpgs on a CD (preferred), color copies, 35mm slides, 2 1/4-inch transparencies or 4-by-5-inch transparencies—of appropriate interior and exterior spaces. This might include the exterior front and back, kitchen, living area, dining area, master bedroom and bath. NOTE: Quality of photographs can make a difference in the judges’ decision but professional photographs are not required. Professional photographs must include photo credits.

3. Entries may be submitted by homeowners, designers or contractors (with homeowner's consent), but to be eligible the home cannot have been published in SH&L or any other national or regional publication prior to January 2009. Homes must also not be for sale and owners must have no immediate plans to put their home on the market.

Mail Entries by July 15, 2008 to Seattle Homes and Lifestyles, Attn: Home of the Year, 1221 E. Pike St., Suite 305, Seattle, WA 98122. Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope if you want your photos returned. (Seattle Homes and Lifestyles assumes no responsibility for lost or damaged materials, so send originals at your own risk.) Winning entrants will be notified by the end of September.
