Celebrating a Decade of Creativity in the FrogTape® Paintover Challenge®

The FrogTape® Paintover Challenge® is marking its milestone 10th anniversary this year, and it has evolved into a vibrant event showcasing creativity and craftsmanship from DIY enthusiasts across the nation. The annual challenge, which began as a simple contest among influencers, now embraces a larger community of creators, engaging with their audience and celebrating innovative transformations in their living spaces.

A Bigger and Bolder Celebration

In 2025, the competition invites ten of the most popular DIY influencers to each revamp a space using just $1,000 and FrogTape® painter's tape. This year, participants compete for not only the admiration of fans but also for up to $10,000 in total prizes. A standout of the competition is the new “GOAT” Award—an acronym for “Greatest of Advanced™ Tape”—which adds an exciting layer for those whose projects demonstrate superior craftsmanship. The winner will receive a $5,000 cash prize, alongside an additional $5,000 donation made to a charity of their choice.

Empowering DIY Enthusiasts

Not only does this challenge spotlight top DIY influencers, it also opens doors for everyday enthusiasts to shine. Up until September 3, 2025, the public is encouraged to vote for their favorite projects, which will select the winner of the People's Choice Award. This component allows non-professionals to engage and potentially win a $1,000 sweepstakes.

According to Patti LaPorte, Director of Marketing at Shurtape Technologies, LLC, the creativity among DIY influencers has been a source of continuous inspiration. She noted, “We've witnessed everything from elegant wainscoting to stunning paint stripes, emphasizing that impactful makeovers don't require extravagant budgets or tools—just creativity, paint, and reliable painter's tape.”
