"We know that the Moree Plains is filled with many talented gardeners and home decorators, and blessed with the homewares and gift shops, galleries, garden and hardware centres, and tradies - still servicing our community - with the goods to make that little project dream a reality," My Moree's Susannah Pearse said.
People interested in entering the competition are encouraged to take a before photo of their makeover project, which can be any area inside or outside their home.
"For instance for inside it could be; a blank wall that you're going to turn into a gallery wall with family photos and artwork, a room that you're going to paint, an empty corner you're going to fill with some beautiful indoor plants in baskets, a bedroom you're going to rearrange and decorate with new bedspread, or your kitchen that you're going to spruce up with a new fruit bowl and tea towels," Mrs Pearse said.
"For outside it could be; the fence you're going to repair or paint, a garden you're going to replant, a bird bath to fill that empty space.
"It is limited only by your imagination!"
Once the makeover is complete, people should post the before and after pics to Facebook or Instagram, tagging the local Moree Plains businesses where any of their makeover materials have been purchased and including the hashtag #mymoreemakover in the post. Make sure the post is public so that the My Moree team can see it.
"Please note that tagged items don't have to be new purchases," Mrs Pearse said.
"It's okay to tag a business for something you bought there some years ago."
Entries close midnight on Sunday, May 10.
A winner and runner up will be announced in both an indoor and outdoor category, with a $500 Love Local gift card for each winner and a $250 Love Local gift card for each runner-up.
Entries will be judged on their creativity, popularity and how well they showcase Moree Plains businesses.
"We are so looking forward to you sharing your makeover projects with us over the next few weeks, and helping us support our local businesses that may be doing it a little tough," Mrs Pearse said.
