Have you recently completed a home improvement project you’re proud of? Show it off to us and all our fabulous readers by entering the all-new Real Homes Home and Garden of the Year awards. Whether you’ve extended your home, redesigned the layout, fitted a new kitchen or bathroom or given the house a top-to-toe makeover, now’s the time to put your project in the spotlight.  

Brand new for this year is the Garden of the Year category, perfect for all you green-fingered fans out there. After all, we know you all like to lavish the love on your outdoor space just as much as the interior of your home.

So what do you need to do? Simply fill out the entry form, send us before and after images of your project, some floorplans (if relevant) and a description of your project.  

Of course, any good awards has to come with some equally great prizes. The overall winner of the Home of the Year will scoop £1,000 of John Lewis vouchers, while the winner of the Garden of the Year will bag £500 of John Lewis vouchers. On top of that, the winner of each category will win a year’s subscription to Real Homes magazine.

Last year’s overall winner Jade Doutch wowed the judges with her amazing rear extension, which she completed for under £35,000. Not only did she scoop the top prize, she also made the front cover of Real Homes magazine. So if you think your home has what it takes to beat off the competition, why not enter the awards today?
