Whether you've been building memories at Aviawest properties for many years or you've just joined us, we know those moments are important. Moments made to share with the ones you love.

This year's Owner Referral Contest is all about capturing and sharing memories. We've got better monthly prizes, starting with a Canon Rebel digital SLR and more photo-related prizes to come.

Here's how the contest works:

• For each referral name that you phone in or email us we will enter you once into the contest.
• For each tour taken by one of your referrals, we will enter your name 3 more times.
• If one of your referrals purchase, we will put your name in an additional 10 times.

The 2006/2007 grand prize of $50,000 in home renovations has been extended, so you still have a chance to win that too. All entries from last year's contest are still valid towards the 2007/2008 grand prize.

Don't forget the regular referral rewards you have access to.

• $50 Aviawest dollars each time one of your friends or colleagues previews with us.
• $400 Aviawest Dollars OR 20,000 bonus points when someone you referred purchases.

Learn more and submit referrals. Or email owner@aviawest.com or phone 1.888.777.9091.
