Ty Pennington and his crew have been all across the map and now they want to drive that famous bus to Minnesota.

What does it take to be picked for an Extreme Makeover?

They're looking for special people who have amazing strength of character and never give up. They want to help people whose stories have really affected their community or made a big difference in other people's lives.

The "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" producers are looking for families whose homes desperately need to be rebuilt.

To be eligible, a family must own their own single family home and be able to show producers how a makeover will make a huge difference in their lives.

Interested families should e-mail a short description of their family story to: emheminnesota@gmail.com.

Nominations may be submitted by the family or by a member of their community. Each nomination must include the names and ages of every member of the household along with a description of the major challenges within the home. Anyone submitting a nomination should be sure to explain why the nominated family is deserving, heroic and/or a great role model for their community. If possible, include a recent photo of the family. All nominations must include a contact phone number.

The deadline for nominations is July 3.
