Exhibitions on a Nation wide scale of
the prize winning designs of the 1929
National Better Homes Competition is a
new feature of this competition pro-
gram, announced today by l.. Porter
Moore, president of Home Owners In
stitute, New York City. Arrangements
are being perfected which will make
it possible to hold one of these exhibit
tions in each of the / 3 principal cities in
the United States. including Washing
ton. which comprise the headquarters
of the l3 regions into which the Nation
was divided for purposes of this Better
Homes Competition for $4,000 in
prizes.
Each display of these prize winning
designs, 80 in number to which will
also be added some of the honorable
mention designs, will be located in some
prominent and convenient center and
will be open to the public free of
charge. It is estimated that more than
half the entire population of the United
States is either living in or within easy
reach of these 10 large cities.
Each exhibit will be sponsored by
such outstanding groups as regional
jury of awards OF the national compe-
tition, the local sponsoring newspaper,
the local chapter of the American In
stitute of Architects and the locSl real
arrangements will insure the success of
these displays of the best home designs
that many of the leading architects in
America have been able to produce out
of their wide experience.
First to Be in New York.
The first of these exhibits to be
definitely announced is arranged to be
held in New York City, headquarters of
the second region, where the New York
Times is the cooperating newspaper.
Space has already been contracted for
in the well known Beaux Art Institute
Of Design. at 304 East Forty-fourth
street. The dates set for this event are
August to 10.
The simultaneous display throughout
the Nation of these prize winning de-
signs will be made possible by having
large Photographic reproductions taken
of the winning designs in each region,
which will in turn be made available
to all the other regional headquarters
cities for exhibition purposes.
1t is expected that most regional
juries of award either have been Sc
1ected or will within very few days
complete the selection of the 80 win
ners in the 13 regions. The meeting of
the national jury of award in New
York City will take place Just as soon
as the 80 regional prize winning de-
signs, most of which are now being
rushed to New York City, are as
sembled for Judging
