We’re always on the lookout for interiors inspiration – which is why we’re pleased to announce the launch of 2023’s Real Homes Home & Garden Awards! Each year, we set out to find the very best transformations across the UK and showcase them across our magazine, website and social media. Oh, and did we mention there’s a big cash prize up for grabs?
With five categories to enter, if you’ve been busy creating your dream home, now’s your chance to show it off. We’re looking for amazing extensions, renovations and makeovers, done on savvy budgets but with no compromises on style. The winners of each category will receive a £1,000 cash prize and a year’s subscription to Real Homes magazine, plus their hard work will be immortalised in a professional shoot for this magazine.
Sound like something you’d be up for? Fill in the entry form below, or scroll down to read more about the categories and the prizes.
Enter the awards
Entering the awards is easy – simply fill out the form below and upload your pictures. Entries close at 23:59 BST on 30 June 2023. All category winners and shortlisted entries will be professionally photographed. You must be able and willing for your home to be photographed and appear in the magazine as well as online.
The prizes
First off, we’re offering each category winner a huge £1,000 to spend on whatever they wish – be it that piece of furniture you’ve been coveting for months, or a wine subscription to help you recover from the stress of your renovation. Hey – we’re not judging! In addition, each winner will receive a year’s subscription to Real Homes. Finally, all winning and shortlisted entries will be professionally photographed and featured in the pages of Real Homes magazine and online.
