ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED.
There are THREE categories. Once you’ve decided which one best suits your project, submit your pics!
DIY
This one is for avid DIYers who did at least 50% of the work themselves. So if knocking down walls or retiling doesn’t scare you, go for it! You’ll have to submit a budget breakdown and show what you did with your own two hands.
Requirements: At least 50% of work done by you - Budget breakdown submission required.
Prize: Winner R30,000 | Runner-up R10,000
MOST BEAUTIFUL
If you’re all thumbs and have a fear of power tools but you oversaw a gorgeous renovation and paid for it, consider this option. Even if a contractor completed 100% of the physical work, you are eligible for this prize.
Requirements: Project oversight by entrant - Professional contractor work acceptable.
Prize: Winner R30,000 | Runner-up R10,000
INNOVATION
If you fancy yourself an out-of-the-box thinker, this category is for you. It could be a mobile home, an outdoor kitchen – you name it! Whether you did it yourself or managed the project, feel free to enter your makeover here.
Requirements: Innovative design or concept - Creative thinking and execution.
Prize: Winner R30,000 | Runner-up R10,000
