EXTRA EXTRA.. Want to see your home in a HOLIDAY with Matthew Mead full size spread?? Do friends and family tell you your home is magazine worthy? Have you ever wondered if your home has what it takes to be featured in print? Yes? Well, get ready to put your home's best face forward and see if we agree.We, the team at Holiday with Matthew Mead, are looking for a great home with style to feature in a three-spread layout in the upcoming issue (to be launched in October 2010). We will come to YOUR home and decorate it for the holidays, with all styling and photography done by Matthew Mead, himself. We will work at your home for 2-3 days... propping and photographing all aspects of lifestyle, including food, people, decorations, etc.
What are we looking for?
Clean, fresh, light-filled modern sensibility with interesting collections and a description of some of your HOLIDAY traditions.
How to enter?
1.This contest is open to residents of the U.S. and Canada. Most importantly: you MUST own the home you are submitting images of. Because of the challenges in contacting and having the legal owners of the rental property sign the releases, and the short time frame of this contest (the feature will be shot this summer), we simply cannot risk the liability and potential hold-ups that might be involved. We know that renters have beautiful homes, too, and in no way is this stipulation meant to offend those who rent. The exclusion is for liability and technical reasons only, due to the nature of the short time frame between the submission of photos and the actual shoot.
2. We are looking for NO MORE than FIVE pictures (4x6 size) of your home. On the back of each picture, please put your full name and the approx. size of each area/room. Also, please include the following information with your entry:
Full Name
Address
Phone #
Email address
Any other pertinent information you feel will help us get a better feel for the space.
3. Some suggestions for rooms/areas to submit images for: mantel, staircase, dining room with table and window in shot, furniture groupings (living room, sitting area), windows, large piece of furniture suitable for decorating, your kitchen.
4. These PRINTED pictures (not on a cd) should be mailed, not emailed (electronic images will NOT be considered). In other words, we want the good old-fashioned printed photos.
Please mail these photos to:
Matthew Mead Productions, Inc.
75 North Main St.
Boscawen, NH
03303.
5. In addition, please post this button in your blog or business website's sidebar:
OR:
Let us know you purchased a copy of HOLIDAY (which will NOT be sold on newstands, but rather, ONLY on this website (see the BUY HOLIDAY link below our banner)...
OR:
Become a Follower and Tweet or Facebook about our contest.
(and let us know what you did in the comment section of this post!)
6. And finally, if you have any questions, please email us at newjenny@aol.com
So, get your cameras out and send us some great photos of your home. Who knows, you just might find your home peeking out from the pages of Holiday 2010!!!
But hurry!
The contest closes on July 15th, and all entries must be postmarked on or before that date, with no exceptions.
Good luck!

Ok, I am going to post on my Christmas blog, and I became a follower and I am going to order the magazine!
ReplyDeleteI will be sending in my 5 photos! I'm excited about this! A part of my house was featured in a 4th idea book on the home page of houzz.com today so I must be doing something right! WHo'd a thunk?!
ReplyDeleteI'm also putting a button on my blog! I ADORED Flea Market Style and I KNOW this is going to be A FAB BOOK/AZINE!
I'm following on facebook and am thinking of getting out my camera to snap home pics!
ReplyDeletekristincita1@comcast.net
Hello sweet Linda & Matthew - I think this is a fabulous idea! However, the house I would totally love to see in the magazine spread is Nester Smith of The Nesting Place, but she's a renter. She fits all of the criteria plus more. I've been admiring her decorating style for over a year now. Her home is filled with beautiful things - each room has been lovingly pulled together with fresh color and unique accessories.
ReplyDeletePlease consider allowing renters to join your contest!
Blessings,
Marie

hey there,
ReplyDeleteooohhh so fun!!!

have a great week
oxoxo,
jessi
o.k. have the cannon focused and ready to shoot! be looking for my photos--i will be the one with my fingers crossed! p.s. you will play in PEORIA!
ReplyDeleteRenters are lovely 2!
ReplyDeleteEspecially when they live in a 1882, never been photographed loft style 20 ft tall ceilings, exposed brick,staircase,wood floors, with origanal windows and crown moldings!
Just an Idea :) hehe
Jenny at Simple Casual Living :)
What a wonderful opportunity for someone. Maybe it can be me. I will post the contest on facebook and order a magazine and send in five pictures. (Only five?)
ReplyDeleteWe love renters, too! The problem is getting releases from the actual owners of the building signed and returned to us. It has proven to be a bit of a headache in the past, and because we are basically holding a one-month contest (with shooting to take place this summer), we simply cannot take on the challenge at this time. But for future issues...? Why not?! :)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Linda
What a great contest and such a good idea!
ReplyDeleteIs it open to residents in Canada? If not, then good luck to all the entrants!
Wow this would be amazing. I'm in Canada so I'm sure I don't qualify but truthfully my renovation won't be done till the end of July so no pics of the finished product anyway. Darn it.
ReplyDeleteI just blogged about this. http://www.brooklynlimestone.com/2010/06/calling-all-homeowners.html
ReplyDeleteIm not sure if I'm eligible but I would just love to have Matthew and his elves come work their magic in my home. I'll even make hot cocoa.
Wow...sounds like alot of fun...and having someone else decorate for the holidays, that must be the prize right? I don't know if a Farmhouse Country Style fits into this magazine but it would really be nice not to have to be the one decorating for days! I love it when all is said and done, but the work involved! I planned on a Christmas in July post...so I'll pass it on. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteI'm an early follower, posted the button on my sidebar, and have ordered my copy of the magazine. Now if you'll excuse me, there are some photos I need to take...
ReplyDeleteJust bought a copy....blog updates / facebook updates coming soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower and I bought a copy of the magazine!
