Homeowners deserve a reward, especially those who put up with the squeaks, leaks and fatigue of an older house. If you have renovated your house in the past four years, we want to hear from you.

Online at www.post-gazette.com/homes, you'll find an entry form and rules for Renovation Inspiration, a new home renovation contest sponsored by the Post-Gazette and Community Design Center of Pittsburgh to honor and encourage sensitive renovation.

Send us photos and a description of your project by Oct. 3. You might win a chance to attend the National Trust for Historic Preservation's national conference here in November and a free RenPlan design consultation (for the rooms you haven't gotten to yet). And, of course, everyone will get to see and read about your handiwork in the Post-Gazette.

So, get started, homeowners! Now is the time to show off your pride and joy to old house lovers everywhere.
