Registration is Now Open for Deb Group’s Second Annual Happy Hands Contest
CHARLOTTE, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sharpen your crayons and colored pencils; registration is now open for Deb
Group’s second annual Happy Hands dispenser design contest. The
contest aims to educate students about the importance of hand washing,
while also allowing them to express their artistic sides through the
creation of an original design for a Deb dispenser. Schools can enter
the contest online at www.debhappyhands.com.
“Kids don’t always listen when parents or teachers tell them to wash
their hands, so we wanted to find a way to make hand hygiene fun,” said
Isabelle Faivre, Vice President of Marketing, Deb USA. “The Happy Hands
contest gives students an opportunity to be imaginative while learning
about the importance of hand washing. We were overwhelmed by the
response we received from last year’s contest and can’t wait to see all
the creative designs we receive this year.”
The Happy Hands dispenser design contest is open to all students in
grades kindergarten through 12. Submissions will be evaluated for visual
appeal, overall hand hygiene design, creativity and unique design
elements.
“Winning the Happy Hands contest was such an honor for our students and
school,” said Eureka McCormick, art teacher at Dieck Elementary, a
winning school in the 2016 Happy Hands contest. “Our students had so
much fun participating in the contest and it served as the perfect way
to show students that hand washing can be fun.”
Designs will be accepted through November 30, 2017. Finalists in each
category will be announced on February 1, 2018 and the public will have
the opportunity to vote for their favorite designs. The designs with the
highest numbers of votes in each category will receive the grand prize –
a $200 gift card, a $500 donation to the school and up-to 500 manual Deb
soap/sanitizer dispensers custom printed with the winning design.
Schools that register for the contest will receive all the necessary
rules, coloring templates and free hand washing educational materials
for their students. Schools can register online at www.debhappyhands.com.
