• Preference will be given to projects that have not been published (online or in print). Previously published work will be evaluated at the discretion of the jury.
• Houses must have been completed within the last 24 months and inhabited.
• Houses may be new construction, renovations, or adaptive reuse projects.
• Entries must be approved by client for publication and, if selected, must be available for a visit by a writer or editor. Clients may opt to remain anonymous. A photo release form will be required for all winning projects.
