Created in 2005 by the Chicago Bungalow Association with the generous support of The Driehaus Foundation, the Driehaus Bungalow Awards is our annual juried competition honoring the creativity and efforts of homeowners like you.​ Be inspired by past winners, and submit your own home improvement project for a chance to win up to $1,000 in 7 awards categories, including interior and exterior renovations, restoration, landscape design, and more!

Across the city, Chicago bungalow owners demonstrate their love for nature by beautifying their blocks with inspiring home gardens. Created in 2017, the Bungalow Garden Contest aims to celebrate the hard work of our members, and draw attention to how gardens not only enhance a home’s architecture, but can also promote a healthier ecosystem and uplift a community.
