Enter to Win the $100,000 CertainTeed Living Spaces® Home Makeover Contest
Video submissions now being accepted for the popular annual homeowner competition
(Valley Forge, Pa.) – Transform your family home from drab to dazzling by entering to win an
expansive remodel from CertainTeed Corporation, North America’s leading brand of building
products. Now accepting video entries, the hugely popular annual Living Spaces® Home
Makeover Contest encourages homeowners to creatively showcase their wish lists for a dream
house exterior redesign.
This summer, one lucky winner will receive an incredible $100,000 grand prize, which includes
$75,000 worth of building products, including professional installation and a $25,000 tax grossup payment. In prior years, winners received $75,000 worth of building products and installation;
however, this year CertainTeed has pulled out all the stops by not only increasing the value to
assist with ancillary costs, but also awarding energy efficient attic insulation for complete home
comfort behind the scenes.
To enter the contest, homeowners simply need to grab their cell phone or video camera and show
off their family’s acting talents and unique personalities by uploading their most entertaining 30to 90-second video to the CertainTeed Living Spaces Facebook® page
(www.facebook.com/certainteedlivingspaces). Videos should be creative and fun, such as using
an original story idea or theme to explain why their home needs a makeover using CertainTeed’s
extensive selection of polymer, insulated and vinyl siding, designer roofing, housewrap,
insulation, decking, railing, fence and trim.
