The finalist receiving the most online votes will win a $2,500 cash grand prize to help add color to the exterior of his or her home.

More than 180 contest entries were received from homeowners across the country wanting to “shake up” the exterior of their homes with color. The three finalists, who will each receive a professionally-created color rendering and product wish list of how they can transform their home’s exterior by adding colorful products to their home, include:

“These three finalists all have homes just begging for exterior help,” says Kate Smith, chief color maven at Sensational Color and a judge in the contest. “They have older homes that need to be shaken up with color and new exterior enhancements.

“One homeowner has a dream of a barn red exterior while another wants a front porch for relaxing. The third finalist has actually entered the contest and been a finalist for two previous years. He’s definitely hoping that ‘the third time’s the charm’ for getting the grand prize!”

Online Voting

Now that the finalists have been selected, their “before” house image along with the artist’s rendering of what the home could look like, will all be posted on the contest page at www.todayshomeowner.com/color.
