Popular Lifestyle Network on the Hunt for Exceptional Team to Bring HGTV 2008 Dream Home Giveaway(sm) Grand Prize to Life
The search is on! HGTV is scanning the country to find an exceptional builder/developer team to design and construct the 2008 HGTV Dream Home, the grand prize of the most successful promotion in cable television history -- the HGTV Dream Home Giveaway.
The HGTV Dream Home Giveaway sweepstakes has served as the signature promotion for the HGTV lifestyle network since 1997 with the grand-prize home presented to one lucky viewer each year. For each one-of-a-kind project, HGTV has teamed with the best builders, developers and architects to create a residential showplace of superior beauty and innovation, enhanced by breathtaking surroundings and fully furnished by top-rung corporate sponsors.
"The HGTV Dream Home is a chance for a top-notch builder/developer team to showcase its best work to a dedicated HGTV audience nationwide," said Judy Girard, president of HGTV. "The promotion has achieved celebrity status, drawing nearly 54 million entries in 2006 and maintaining a year-round interest among homeowner hopefuls."
Harnessing the star power of the HGTV Dream Home promotion has certainly proved positive for two-time Dream Home developer Land Resource Companies, LLC. The Atlanta-based business partnered with HGTV in 2004 for the St. Marys, Georgia Dream Home at Cumberland Harbour and again in 2006 for the Grey Rock at Lake Lure Dream Home in North Carolina. According to Chairman and CEO Bob Ward, his company′s involvement with the HGTV promotion has generated considerable interest in its residential development projects and continues to heighten awareness and affinity for all the communities LRC serves.
"Because of our affiliation with both the 2004 and 2006 Dream Home projects, more people are aware of Land Resource Companies," said Ward. "At Grey Rock, in just 90 days during the 2006 promotion, our sales team received more requests for information than we normally see in two years. Once people find out about the Dream Home, they′re eager to learn more about our other communities, and they find that the level of excellence that has gone into Grey Rock at Lake Lure and Cumberland Harbour goes into all of our properties. The Dream Home distinction simply sets us apart from other property developers and gives us more opportunity to showcase the amazing quality of our communities."
