NEW YORK, N.Y. [For Immediate Release--April 11, 2011] Moms may love getting cards and flowers for Mother's Day, but to celebrate its new series House Hunters on Vacation, premiering on Monday, June 6, at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT, HGTV will offer the ultimate Mother's Day gift--a fantasy "momcation" getaway. Beginning Monday, April 11, at 9 a.m. ET through Friday, May 13, at 5 p.m. ET, visitors to HGTV.com can upload video essays about why their mom and family would like the chance to go on the vacation of a lifetime and appear on HGTV.

In the spirit of the original series House Hunters, one lucky mom and her family will evaluate three amazing properties and choose the place they want to stay for one week.
