San Diego Home/Garden Lifestyles has two upcoming opportunities for your projects to be published within our pages: Our 24th Annual Kitchens of the Year contest

Our Remodel Issue

If you have a kitchen project, completed within the last two years and not yet published by us or by other media, we'd love to see it entered in our professionally judged contest. Winners are published in the June issue. The deadline to send us your submission is March 2. Here's the link: http://www.sandiegohomegarden.com/koy%20entry%20form_2015.pdf

We're also looking for whole house remodels for our August issue. Projects must have been completed within the last two years and submitted no later than April 1 . Teardown/rebuild projects and remodels where the footprint has changed so drastically that comparisons are difficult or impossible to make will not be accepted. We also are not interested in empty rooms or rooms under reconstruction.

For your best chances to be considered, here's what we are hoping to have sent (and not sent) our way:

“Before” and “after” photographs of the exterior and multiple interior rooms.

“After” photos should be taken from the same angles as “before” photos so that comparisons are easy to make.

For clarity, please label photos “before” and “after” with location descriptions (bedroom, exterior front, etc.)

The photographs must be of high quality. That means the resolution must be at least 300 dpi and the images should not be overly dark or show cluttered spaces (such as countertops covered with pantry items or personal effects and floors strewn with toys).

Please indicate the neighborhood/city in which the home is located, the name(s) of the architect, designer and/or builder responsible for the remodel and a description of the scope of the remodel.

Submissions may be sent to me via email or to the address below. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
