The business will select three winners from each of the three regions. The initiative is also supported by a [contribution from HomeGuru](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-genius-exteriors), a longtime vendor partner of the company. The [nomination process](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optimus-story) for the Back-to-School Giveaway is simple and conducted entirely online. It requires entrants to complete a form explaining why their chosen teacher deserves recognition and to provide a link to that teacher’s wishlist, and the submission period remains open until August 23, with winners announced on August 24.
