The best submissions will be awarded a free mortgage payment and named as the LendingTree Home CFO.

The Charlotte, N.C.-based online mortgage network is accepting entries via its Facebook page until July 31. Each month, one participant will be named The LendingTree Home CFO and will be awarded a free month's mortgage or rent payment. Submissions will be judged based on originality, creativity, and relevance/.

The savings tips will be showcased on the LendingTree Facebook page, Twitter, and on the company blog.--Tanya Irwin
