Application


Hello and thank-you for applying to NICE PACKAGE. This show is going to have some exciting twists so we want to find some interesting people! When answering these questions please be honest, descriptive, colorful, concise and most of all, have fun. Thank-you for applying and good luck!

Each episode of Nice Package challenges a group of people that live in a unique situation to redecorate a room in their home using only the contents of an enormous package and some clues from a celebrity designer. The contestants have 24 hours to bring the designer’s vision to life and depending on how well they do, they have a chance to win a grand prize that has been tailored for them! There will be ups, downs, conflicts, and comedy as the contestants race the clock.

At the end of this application you will be prompted to upload a picture of your team. Before proceeding any further please take the time to rename your picture using the format last name and city, i.e., smithphiladelphia. Thank you.
