I don't know if it's just me, but I can't click through to the slide show on any of these entries. :(

I'd been planning to enter one of these years, but just as I got my place done, I bought a new home and moved out (Anyone want a small cool(ish?) condo in Detroit - ha!) and can't participate. And, I found out it is 40 sq ft larger than I thought it was so I wouldn't have qualified anyway!

I entered but I live in Sweden and there are no other international entires yet. Maybe they will decide to skip the international category then? I hope not! I want to see what kind of snarky comments my flat gets!;)

@blacksheep... yes it also surprised me they're not listing any of the international entries. either we're not good enough, or they just skipped the whole category.

International entries would be most welcome by this AT viewer.

I would LOVE to see international entries. How great to see inspiration from outside our cities. Especially Sweden!!!!
Imagine seeing resources other than the usual retailers.

"Imagine seeing resources other than the usual retailers."
Ha! Well I live in the land of IKEA! But yeah it's nice to see stuff you haven't seen relentlessly in every other house tour!
add- did you enter your flat? where are you located?

black_sheep:
I thought of the Ikea thing. I always love seeing as many interiors as possible from where ever. (I smiled by your response.)
No way would I enter our flat, for too many reasons to list on this site.

Can there be a rule next year where people have to actually show photos of their apartments and not waste them on things they own? This year was terrible for that and it's been a real disappointment.

Did AT just do away with the international category?
Please post as many submissions as you can, AT. My curiosity would be grateful.
