Now in its 11th year, the competition has been given a facelift and with our three brand-new categories, you can expect more winners!

THE NEW CATEGORIES
1. DIY
This one is for avid DIYers who will take on 50% of the work themselves. So if knocking down walls, retiling or laying a screed floor doesn’t scare you, go for it! You will have to submit a breakdown of your budget and show what you did with your own two hands. This category celebrates hard work and true grit!
2. INNOVATION
If you fancy yourself an out-of-the-box thinker with a knack for the extraordinary, this category is for you. It could be an eco house, a mobile home, an outdoor kitchen – you name it! Whether you did the work yourself or simply planned and project managed, feel free to enter your makeover here.
3. MOST BEAUTIFUL
If you’re all thumbs and have a fear of power tools, consider this option. Even if a contractor completed 100% of the physical work, as long as you were responsible for the planning, project management and the bills you are eligible for this prize.
