Vote for your favorite house

Rules

Free to vote; no purchase needed. You can vote for any house on this tour: one vote per phone, for your favorite house. You can move or remove your vote until voting closes. Voting closes November 1, 2026 at 11:59 PM Pacific. The household at the house with the most votes receives $250. Ties go to the house with more votes cast at the house itself, then the prize is split. Votes that look automated or duplicated are removed. If the winner declines, the prize goes to the runner-up. Kevin Labianco, his family and anyone who worked on this tour can't win. Run by Plantrip; not affiliated with the city or the contest's organizers.
