For the first time, participating voters will also be entered into a sweepstakes to win a $1,000 Visa^® gift card, the same budget each of the competing bloggers were provided to complete their makeover. Each vote counts as an entry to win the prize, and participants can enter once per day. The sweepstakes winner will be announced in conjunction with the blogger on June 14, 2017. For complete rules, visit frogtapepaintoverchallenge.com.

"The FrogTape^® Paintover Challenge^® was created to inspire both novice and expert DIYers alike and to showcase the possibilities of paint," said Allison Shagovac, influencer marketing manager, ShurTech Brands, LLC. "This year, we wanted to articulate that with the right tools, a $1,000 budget and some inspiration, any DIYer can achieve a similar look to a pro's – and by adding the public voting sweepstakes, one lucky winner will get to try just that."

The rules of the contest were simple; each blogger had to redo their space using three things: paint, painter's tape and a $1,000 budget. All six participating bloggers were each assigned one of the 2017 FrogTape^® Design Trends, identified by celebrity interior designer Taniya Nayak, to incorporate into their makeover. The process is documented on their blogs and on frogtapepaintoverchallenge.com with before, during and after shots of the room transformations.
