SC Johnson Professional, a global leader in professional cleaning and hygiene solutions, is transforming hand hygiene into a fun and engaging exercise with its "Happy Hands Contest". The contest offers K-8 students an opportunity to understand the importance of hand hygiene and showcase their creativity by designing a custom soap/sanitizer dispenser.
Aiming to foster healthier schools and happier students, the contest doesn't require any purchases, only students' imaginations. The winning student will receive a $300 gift card, and their school will benefit from a $1,000 donation. Additionally, up to 500 dispensers featuring the winning design will be installed in the school.
Submissions are judged based on visual appeal, overall hand hygiene theme, creativity, and unique design elements. Finalists from two categories (K-5 and 6-8) will be announced on February 1, 2023, after which the public will vote for their favorite designs.
In essence, the Happy Hands Contest offers a unique platform for students to understand the importance of hand washing, engage their creativity, and contribute to their school's environment.
