Have you ever thought one of the could use a little face lift?

Now you have a chance to make it happen. 

Through its “Colorful Classrooms Contest,” Glidden is looking to make the lives of some lucky elementary school students a lot more colorful.

Any public, private or charter elementary school can be nominated for the opportunity to be repainted and refreshed with Glidden paint.

Nominations must be submitted by Friday, Sept. 28.

The winning school will receive a makeover from AkzoNobel and its contractors with up to 200 gallons of Glidden paint. The nomination form is available at www.glidden.com/colorfulclassroomscontest.

Judges will select five semifinalists on the basis of need, scope of project, potential impact on the student body, community engagement and involvement, and quality and creativity of entry.

The semifinalists’ applications will be placed on glidden.com for public voting between Oct. 8 and Oct. 26. The winner will be notified on Oct. 29.
