Winning entries will be given publicity via a news release sent to local media, social media posts that can be shared with potential homebuyers, and an announcement in the fall edition of Susquehanna Style.

Additional marketing materials for the winning builder will be made available through the Pennsylvania Energy Efficient New Homes Program.

To submit an entry, complete the registration form and payment no later than March 19, 2018. Candidates are requested to submit before and after photos. When submitting the photos, please also upload a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) report.
