The After Party: Year Two
We know there are plenty of you out there with amazing before & after photos (after all, you guys blow us away with your Reader Redesigns on a regular basis) so that’s why we’re all about spreading the word about One Project Closer’s 2nd Annual Before and After Event, benefiting Habitat for Humanity.
One Project Closer (if you don’t already know and love them) is a great home improvement site run by two couples in Baltimore, MD. They offer tips, how-tos, product reviews and giveaways with more of a heavy duty, power tool spin. And they’re following-up their successful 2008 Before and After Event with another summer-long feature of readers’ pictures… but this year there are more prizes to be won! Here’s the gist:
- You submit your story and pictures of a project you did yourself around your home
- Each week, OPC features one submission on their site and donates $35 to Habitat for Humanity in that project’s honor
- And (new this year) if your submission is featured, you also get to pick a prize – like a $25 gift card to Lowe’s, Home Deport or Amazon)
- At the end of the summer, we’ll all vote on our favorite project and that winner gets an additional $150 home improvement gift card.
You can read more (and learn how to enter) right here on OPC’s official page. The event runs through September 20th but don’t wait too long- your chances of being featured are probably better if you get your project in asap!
And I’m sure they’d appreciate if you helped spread the word too – either in a post or by putting up one of their sidebar buttons (provided at the bottom of their site).
We can’t wait to check out the makeovers that you guys submit. Sherry and I actually just sent off one of our recent projects (not the porch, mind you!) so we’re crossing our fingers that it makes the cut…
