icardo G., a third-grader at Trapp Elementary is one of five finalists in the elementary, Kinder - 5th grade category for his colorful artwork designed for the SC Johnson annual Happy Hands dispenser design contest. The design features a determined looking bar of soap rendered as a boxer with boxing gloves and champion belt attacking a virus molecule. The contest promotes the importance of handwashing in schools. A record number of submissions were received this year from K-12 students across the US. Artwork themes ranged from inspirational messages to soap that ‘packs a punch’ against germs.
Students compete in two categories for prize packages: elementary (grades K-5) and middle/high school (grades 6-12). The winning design in each category will receive $1,000 for their schools, a $300 gift card for each winning student, and up to 1,000 manual soap/sanitizer dispensers featuring the student’s winning design. The public can vote on its favorite designs daily, now through February 28 at 11:59 ET at p.m. https://happyhands.scjp.com/enus/vote. The design in each category earning the highest number of votes will win. Winners will be announced by April 1, 2022. “Students went above and beyond this year with their creativity and imagination,” said Mike Flagg, head of SC Johnson Professional’s North American Contest, cont.on next pg.
