"Home" can mean many things to many people.

Habitat for Humanity Canada (Habitat) and Genworth Canada are asking students in grade 4, 5 and 6 across Canada to tell us what "home" means to them by entering the Meaning of Home Contest.

By entering, students have the chance to make a difference in their community: for each eligible entry, up to a maximum of 6000 entries, Genworth Canada will donate $5.00 CAD to the Habitat affiliate closest to the entrant's city of residence. Every participant also has a chance to win the top prize which consists of a $60,000 donation from Genworth Canada to the Habitat affiliate of their choice, as well as 5 runner-up prizes of $5000 donations to Habitat affiliates.

That's not all! The winner also gets to host a pizza party for their entire school, and runners-up get a pizza party for their classroom, in addition to other great prizes.

Enter now and tell us what "home" means to you!
