Now in its 10^th year, the contest invites 10 popular DIY influencers to transform their spaces using just $1,000 and FrogTape^® painter's tape for a chance to win up to $10,000 in prizes, aligning with the 10 year anniversary.

"For 10 years, we've been inspired by the painting perfection from the top DIY influencers around the country," said Patti LaPorte, Director of Marketing at Shurtape Technologies, LLC, which markets FrogTape^® brand products. "We've been wowed by wainscoting and stunned by stripes – year after year, the Paintover Challenge has proven that you don't need a big budget or fancy tools for an impactful makeover – just paint, good painter's tape and a great imagination."

Participating DIYers shared a room makeover project they think best represents their work for a chance to win. And the submissions are as varied as the influencers and charities of choice. From linen closet glow-ups and textured stair takeovers to spare bedroom makeovers and even a patio floor flip, the influencers put their heart and soul into these projects.

"The inspiring designs and impeccable execution go beyond the paint projects," LaPorte said. "The charitable component fuels the friendly competition as each influencer strives to donate to a non-profit organization that's dear to them. Potential charity donations include everything from children's mentoring programs and dog rescues to suicide prevention and cancer support groups. We're thrilled that FrogTape can champion such inspiring projects – both in design and in truly impactful causes that make a difference."
