The online photo search encourages customers to upload inspiring photos of
their most cherished spot on the globe, breathtaking memory from nature or
even their favorite hot rod convertible as inspiration for their next room
makeover project using Valspar Ultra Premium and Signature Colors found
exclusively at Lowe's.
With online voting help from customers nationwide, the winner will be
chosen from among 25 finalists and will receive a grand prize $25,000 room
makeover. Walls painted in a Valspar color to match the winner's inspirational
theme, decorative accents, accessories and room design services courtesy of

in the grand prize package. Twenty-four second place winners will each receive
a $100 Lowe's gift card to help jumpstart their inspired room makeovers.
"The colors we incorporate into our homes can say a great deal about who
we are as an individual," said Bill Dodd, vice president of merchandising for
paint at Lowe's. "At Lowe's, we want to know what's inspiring our customers
when they're thinking about changing or adding color to their homes. Whether
it's a centerpiece of red roses or a stretch of blue sky along the shoreline
that inspires them most, we absolutely want to know about it."
