Students Design Award-Winning Soap Dispenser Art

SC Johnson Professional has announced the winners of its fourth-annual Happy Hands dispenser design contest.

The contest 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).

The winner in the elementary school (K-5) category is Stella F., a fourth-grader at Floranada Elementary School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Wilfred O., a sixth-grader at Gifford School in Racine, Wisconsin, was tops in the middle/ high school (6-12) category. Both students will receive a US$300 gift card, a $1,000 donation to their school, and up to 1,000 manual soap/sanitizer dispensers featuring their winning design. 

“It’s heartwarming to see the excitement around the student designs and hand hygiene, and support from the schools and communities,” said Mike Flagg, head of SC Johnson Professional North America. “Hand hygiene is such a critical step in preventing the spread of germs, and we hope that this contest serves as a fun reminder for practicing good hand hygiene.”
