The process will be documented on their blogs and on paintoverchallenge.com with before, during and after shots of the room transformations. The winning blogger will be selected through public voting – which begins May 31 – and will receive $5,000 to donate to their favorite charity and appear in an upcoming national FrogTape^® magazine advertisement. The winner will be announced on June 27.

"With the launch of the FrogTape^® Paintover Challenge^™, we're hoping to inspire both expert and novice DIYers alike to step out of their comfort zone and push their creative limits – while showcasing the diversity of paint and painter's tape," said Allison Shagovac, influencer marketing manager, ShurTech Brands, LLC. "The participating bloggers each have their own unique styles and personalities, and we can't wait to see what they create as they compete for a good cause."

Paintover Challenge^™ participants include:

4 Men 1 Lady: Blessed with three rambunctious and messy boys, Michelle's mission is to bring beauty to a house full of men. She is passionate about interiors and uses her home to experiment with design.
Rain on a Tin Roof: Jenna is a mover, a shaker and believes in flying your own freak flag. She's never met a leopard print she didn't like and always prefers to go bold or go home.
Refunk My Junk: Allison is a creative entrepreneur who inspires women to harness creativity in their homes. When she's not painting furniture, she's busy wrangling her two sons and renovating her home.
The Happy Housie: With a passion for DIY, decorating and crafting, Krista loves making her home into a welcoming space. She tackles many projects, both large and small, from renovating entire houses to creating simple seasonal décor.
Thistlewood Farms: KariAnne found her passion for home and design with her blog Thistlewood Farms. Thistlewood Farms is more than the story of a farmhouse; it's about family, fun, burlap and pancakes.
Vintage Revivals: As a fearless DIYer, Mandi believes that your home should look like you and no one else. She transforms her spaces with secondhand items while providing readers with step-by-step instructions to recreate the look on their own terms and budget.
