Each entry should include:

At the top of the description, please list the name of the category and the name of the project. DO NOT include your name or your company’s name on the project description.
• floor plans (reduced to 8 1/2 x 11 paper size). For renovation entries, “before” plans should also be included. Please do not send full-size blueprints.
