The Home and Garden Television network website and its sister sites are where to find programming for everything from DIY home building projects and decorating to creating that gorgeous garden you've been dreaming of. The network also has some great sweepstakes opportunities.

One of the most well-known sweepstakes from HGTV is the annual Dream Home giveaway. A recent winner won a cottage on Kiawah Island, a GMC Acadia Denali luxury SUV and $500,000 which may be used to cover the taxes on these awesome prizes. This type of giveaway has been going on for several years. The "cottage" would house a large family and is a luxury home set in paradise.

The sister sites include:

• The Food Network: Keep your eye out to win top of the line cookware and even food-related luxury trips.


• Great American Country: Country music lovers can win chances to see some of their favorite stars in person.


• The DIY Network: This site hosts the Blog Cabin giveaway. This sweepstakes is unique in that it's actually an interactive sweepstakes. Readers of the DIY blog help design the cabin by voting on suggested features. The cabin is then built and given away.


• The Travel Channel: The current sweep is for a trip for 2 to Brazil but check back often for the latest trips on offer.

There are fun holiday themed giveaways and the network will team up with other companies such as Disney. Currently, there's a Disney vacation up for winning. Other sweeps include cash and other prizes to improve your home inside and out.

Entry options include online and mail-in. Each sweep has an official rules page. Winners of the major prizes are listed and some of them are happy to give interviews and interact with fellow HGTV sweepstakes enthusiasts. The chances to win change often. You can find all the latest sweeps on the listing page on the official HGTV site. Have fun and good luck!
