• The “Better Your Best” contest is officially open. The contest is based on your improvement from what your business did in any period of at a three consecutive month period in 2022 compared to what it does in the same months in 2023. For example, you may choose to compare the period March – May 2022 with March – May 2023.

• There are no application fees. You simply need to be a Platinum Member in good standing to enter. Being a Platinum Member in 2023 does NOT obligate you to enter the contest. Entering the contest gives you an opportunity to step up to the plate and showcase your achievements.

• The grand prize winner not only receives $10,000, but will also become the national spokesperson of the iGo Community and a designated “Ambassador” to the industry. 

• The “Better Your Best” contest applications must be received by Jan, 7th, 2024 to be considered. The winner will be announced at the 2024 RISE Conference and contestants must be present to be eligible to win.

Selection Process

• After you complete and submit your application at the conclusion of the contest period, a panel of up to twelve judges familiar with the home inspection business, marketing, and business growth strategies will thoroughly evaluate each competitor’s contest application.

• Judges will examine the application from the perspective of the category you competed in and will look at the documentation you provided proving the improvement you made during the contest period. 

• They will also thoroughly review each essay, giving it a score based in part on how well each competitor explains how he/she benefited from making a commitment to bettering their business. They’ll be looking for explanations of what worked for you and how you can share your experiences for the benefit of other community members. This can be done in video or other creative formats. You can also be creative in how you choose to present your information. The sky is the limit!

• Contestants will be partially judged based on their level of improvement against that of the other companies competing in the same category and status. Fifty percent or more of the judging will be based on the changes you implemented in your business, and up to fifty percent will be based on your essay. In the event of a tie, the tie will be broken by which competitor received the highest essay score.

• After each person who has entered the contest has a final score, up to 12 finalists will be selected based on who receives the highest score from each category. Each finalist may be asked to give a short presentation at the 2024 RISE Conference, which will factor into the final judging.
  

• Your iGo Community Membership level does not impact your probability of being selected as performance KPIs will be relative to the previous year as a percentage.
  

Grand Prize of $10,000

• The grand prize winner will be considered an “Ambassador” and might be asked to attend – at the iGo Community’s expense – certain industry functions and all iGo Community events. The grand prize winner must also be available for media interviews, be interviewed for materials copyrighted to iGo Community for unrestricted use, and otherwise act as an iGo Community industry ambassador.
