FAQ
Are you looking for polished/nice rooms?
No. This contest is the opposite of that. We're looking for the most INTERESTING places. We love odd, vintage, surprising.
What if I'm embarrassed to share my room?
We can make your submission anonymous. But we'll leave it to you to leave out identifying details in your photos.
