Teaming up once again with America's favorite lifestyle guru, Macy's (NYSE:M) today launched the popular "Macy's Million Dollar Makeover with Clinton Kelly." After the inaugural contest awarded a Wenatchee, WA, teacher a life-changing makeover for her entire family in 2011, this year's competition will be focused on contestants looking to make their dreams a reality in three areas: food, fashion and home. Awarding one deserving winner the makeover of a lifetime, Macy's Million Dollar Makeover returns with a nationwide call for entries throughout the month of January, and an offer for several finalists to compete - with America voting - for the chance to win $1 million to make their personal dream come true!

Not only will this year's winner receive one million dollars, but we're helping bring his or her dream to life!"
