Makeover contests can cover everything from cleaning up an unruly garage to spicing up your out-of-date bathroom. In short, a custom-designed makeover contest can appeal to any audience – you just need to choose the right topic. This is an ideal contest for sponsors because your players are ready to take action and find products that will help them fix whatever needs to be “made over.”

The response was great! We received 224 entries and over 8,000 registered voters. Some of the more clever kitchen names were; ‘Coppertone Purgatory’, ‘One Crippled Canteen’, ‘Used to be a Love Shack, now it’s a Shanty Shack’, ‘My Kitchen Nightmare’, ‘Martha Stewart’s Nightmare!’ and ‘CAUTION: Husband Fixed Faucet! Help!’.” – Barry Arthur, Assistant Managing Editor
