QUESTIONS
Before you enter.
Does it cost anything to enter?
No. Entering is free and you don’t have to buy anything. Winning the design doesn’t commit you to a remodel either.
Who can enter?
Homeowners 18 and older whose home is in Macomb County, Oakland County (including Rochester and Rochester Hills) or the Grosse Pointes. HomeWorks employees and their families can’t enter.
What kind of kitchens are you looking for?
We pick the kitchens where a new design would make the biggest difference to how you live, whether that’s a layout that fights you or storage that ran out years ago.
How does the $2,000 work?
If you’re one of the 5 winners and you sign a full kitchen remodel with HomeWorks by May 1, 2027 (cabinets, countertops, backsplash and flooring), $2,000 comes off your final invoice. It has no cash value and can’t be transferred.
Will you share my photos?
Only if you win, and only with your OK on the entry form. We never share your last name or address.
I’m ready now. Do I have to wait?
You can book a free in-home measure today. Just know the $2,000 is only for the 5 winners, so if you start with us before winners are called, it won’t apply to your project.
No purchase necessary. Open to homeowners 18 or older in Macomb County, Oakland County and the Grosse Pointes, Michigan. Entries close December 14, 2026 at 11:59 pm ET. Winners are chosen by judges, not at random. Not sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Meta or Facebook. See the official rules below.
Official rules
1. Sponsor
The “Show Us Your Kitchen” Contest (the “Contest”) is run by HomeWorks CGO Inc., 49570 Gratiot Ave, Chesterfield, Michigan 48051, 888-324-0660 (“HomeWorks”).
2. No purchase necessary
No purchase or payment of any kind is needed to enter or win. Buying anything from HomeWorks does not improve your chances.
3. Who can enter
The Contest is open to legal residents of Michigan who are 18 or older and who own and live in the home whose kitchen they enter, located in Macomb County, Michigan; Oakland County, Michigan (including Rochester and Rochester Hills); or the cities of Grosse Pointe, Grosse Pointe Park, Grosse Pointe Farms, Grosse Pointe Woods or Grosse Pointe Shores. Renters, landlords and rental properties are not eligible. Employees of HomeWorks and their immediate family and household members are not eligible. One entry per household. Additional entries from the same household will be disqualified.
4. Entry period
The Contest starts November 17, 2026 at 12:00 am ET and ends December 14, 2026 at 11:59 pm ET. HomeWorks’ clock is the official clock for the Contest.
5. How to enter
Complete the entry form at thesmartwaytoremodel.com/show-us-your-kitchen. A complete entry includes 3 to 5 photos of your own kitchen, your answer to “What would you change first?”, your remodel timing, and your name, phone, email and ZIP code. You must have taken the photos yourself or have the right to share them. Incomplete entries, or entries with photos of a kitchen you don’t own, will be disqualified.
6. How winners are chosen
This is a contest judged on the criteria below. Winners are not chosen at random. Judges are HomeWorks designers and the owners. Each eligible entry is scored out of 100 points. Remodel timing, budget and other answers on the entry form are not scored:
- Design impact (60 points): how much a new design would change the way the kitchen works, including layout, storage, flow and light, judged from the photos.
- Your story (40 points): the entrant’s answer to “What would you change first?”
Each judge scores every entry on their own, and the scores are averaged. The 10 highest-scoring entries go to a final judges’ meeting, where the judges choose 5 winners, aiming for a mix of kitchen sizes and styles. Ties are broken by the Design impact score. The next 2 entries are named alternates. Winners are chosen by December 20, 2026. The judges’ decisions are final.
7. Winner notice
Winners will be contacted by phone and email on December 20, 2026. Measures and 3D designs are scheduled after January 1, 2027. A winner must reply within 7 days and confirm they are eligible. If a winner can’t be reached, doesn’t reply in time, or isn’t eligible, the prize goes to the next alternate.
8. Prizes
Five (5) winners will each receive:
- Level 1, the design: a measure of the winner’s kitchen (a free in-home measure by a HomeWorks designer, or measurements the winner provides), layout options for the kitchen shown in 3D renderings, and a feature in HomeWorks’ winners’ reveal (with the winner’s permission).
- Level 2, the remodel: a $2,000 credit toward a full kitchen remodel with HomeWorks. The credit applies only if the winner signs a full kitchen remodel contract with HomeWorks by May 1, 2027 that includes cabinets, countertops, backsplash and flooring, with a contract total of at least $20,000. It is taken off the final invoice. Entrants who book a measure or sign with HomeWorks before winners are notified are not eligible for the $2,000 credit.
9. Use of photos
By entering, you let HomeWorks view and use your photos to judge the Contest and to follow up with you about your kitchen. If you win and checked the photo box on the entry form, you also let HomeWorks share your kitchen photos, renderings, first name and city on its website and social media, without further payment. HomeWorks will never share a winner’s last name or address.
10. Privacy
HomeWorks uses the information you submit to run the Contest and to contact you about your kitchen. HomeWorks does not sell it. See the privacy policy.
11. Release and conditions
By entering, you agree to these rules and to the judges’ decisions. To the extent the law allows, you release HomeWorks and its owners and employees from any claims arising from the Contest or from accepting or using a prize. HomeWorks is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete or technically failed entries. HomeWorks may cancel, change or suspend the Contest if fraud, technical problems or anything else outside its control affects how the Contest runs.
12. Meta
This Contest is not sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Meta Platforms, Facebook or Instagram. By entering, you release Meta from any liability. Questions go to HomeWorks, not Meta.
13. Governing law
