SC Johnson Professional announced the finalists for its annual Happy Hands dispenser design contest. The contest invites students to submit soap/sanitizer dispenser artwork highlighting the importance of hand hygiene. People can view the top 10 designs, selected from the more than 300 submissions this year, and vote for their favorites on the Happy Hands website until Feb. 28.
“Minimizing the spread of germs within schools starts with reinforcing proper hand hygiene protocols,” said Bryant Davis, vice president and general manager of North America, SC Johnson Professional. “We were impressed by the creativity and effort the students put into communicating this idea through their designs, which made the selection process highly competitive.”
The two contest categories include elementary, grades K-5; and middle/high school, grades 6-12. The winners from each category will each receive a $1,000 donation to their school, a $300 gift card, and up to 1,000 1-liter manual soap/sanitizer dispensers featuring the student’s winning design for their school district.
