Dispenser Design Contest Winners Announced

SC Johnson Professional has announced the winners of its 2022 Happy Hands dispenser design contest.

The contest, now in its fifth year, called for K-12 students to design and submit original artwork for a soap dispenser that promotes proper hand hygiene, with the public voting on the winner from a group of five finalists selected by SC Johnson in two grade categories (elementary and middle/high school). This year’s edition saw a record number of entries and nearly 22,000 votes cast online for the finalists.

The winner in the elementary school (K-5) category is Autumn A., a fifth grader at Brushton-Moira Central School in Brushton, New York, and the winner in the middle/high school (6-12) category is Anthony D., an eighth grader at Kearney Junior High in Kearney, Missouri. Both students will receive a US$300 gift card while their respective schools will receive a $1,000 donation and up to 1,000 manual soap/sanitizer dispensers featuring the winning designs.

“It’s always wonderful to see schools rally around each of the students’ designs and gain support from their communities as well,” said Mike Flagg, head of SC Johnson Professional North America. “This contest is a fantastic way to get students of all ages excited about handwashing and understanding that good hand hygiene can be fun!”
