Introducing the Bishard Homes Showcase

Introducing the Bishard Homes Showcase

Bishard Homes · Community · August 2026 

We build homes, but you make them yours. The Bishard Homes Showcase is our way of celebrating that. From the landscaping you've tended every summer to the living room that's hosted a thousand movie nights, your Bishard Home tells a story that goes far beyond what we handed you at closing. This year, we want to give that story an audience. 

If you own a Bishard home, you're invited to enter the Bishard Homes Showcase, whether you purchased your home directly from Bishard or from a previous owner. Submit your home with the required photos and a short description. If your home is selected, we'll schedule a complimentary professional photography and videography session at no cost to you. Selected homes will then be featured in the Bishard Homes Showcase and compete for cash prizes during public voting in January. 

What Is the Bishard Homes Showcase? 

The Showcase is open to legal owners (18+) of any Bishard home. Whether you purchased your home directly from Bishard or from a previous owner, you're eligible to enter. Owner occupied, rental, and investment properties are all welcome, regardless of the home's age. You submit your application, and if your home is selected, we'll schedule a complimentary professional photography and videography session. Drone footage may be captured where weather, regulations, and conditions permit. You'll receive copies of all professional media for your personal use. 

Homes selected for the Showcase will be professionally photographed and entered into public voting during the first two weeks of January. Public voting determines the People's Choice Award and People's Choice Runner Up, while the Builder's Choice Award is selected separately by the Bishard Homes team. 

The Awards 

Three homes will win, and each award goes to a different home. 

People's Choice Award: $2,000 
Awarded to the home receiving the most public votes. 

People's Choice Runner Up: $500 
Awarded to the home receiving the second highest number of public votes. 

Builder's Choice Award: $500
