Homes & Gardens' sister magazine Period Living is inviting readers to enter their completed home improvements, garden, or interior decoration projects in the Home & Garden of the Year awards 2022. We can’t wait to see the schemes you’ve come up with for all kinds of period properties, large and small, and to hear their unique stories.
Enter the Home & Garden of the Year awards today for a chance to win a cash prize of up to £1,000.
If you’re not quite ready to enter your own home, then maybe a friend or family member has a stylish house or garden that’s worth shouting about. Why not encourage them to enter our awards? Or maybe you’d like to say thank you to a craftsperson or tradesperson who helped you with your renovation or garden? Mention them in your entry and we’ll make sure they get the plaudits they deserve if your home is selected as one of our winners.
Our previous award-winning period homes have come in all shapes and sizes: thatched country cottages and farmhouses, neat Victorian terraces, large manor houses, smart apartments, seaside boltholes, and townhouses – tall and small. Our winning gardens have been just as varied, from cottage garden classics to landscaped vistas and walled kitchen gardens. If you’re proud of your home or garden, we’re sure to love it too.
We want to see…
- Elegant townhouses and semis
- Cosy cottages and terraces
- Fabulous farmhouses
- Intriguing listed buildings
- Characterful conversions - barns, schools, chapels, pubs, windmills
- Extended homes
- First-time and DIY projects
- And gorgeous gardens, large and small
How to enter
Enter using the form here and follow the instructions on the entry form. You will need to have the following information ready to complete your application:
Tell us in up to 500 words why you think your home should win, giving us details of how it looked before you renovated, what you’ve achieved and how you’ve gone about it. Please also tell us what period or original features you’ve managed to restore or reinstate. Include the names of any stand-out craftspeople or tradespeople who you feel deserve a mention for their work on your project.
Make sure you include photos of all the main rooms in the house, or main areas of the garden for a garden entry – quick snaps will do.
Don’t forget to include a photo of the exterior of the property, too, and any features of the house or garden that you are particularly proud of.
The Period Living Home & Garden of the Year awards are open to residents of Great Britain only. Full terms and conditions can be found here. The closing date for all entries is 5pm on Monday 6 June 2022.
