On your marks, get set, create! Registration for the SC Johnson Professional Happy Hands dispenser design contest is now open. The annual contest allows students in grades K-12 to explore their creative side while helping them understand the importance of regular hand washing and sanitizing in schools.

The contest features two categories: elementary school (grades K-5) and middle/high school (grades 6-12). Each student may submit only one dispenser design and art must be submitted via mail and postmarked by November 30, 2024. The contest is open to all K-12 public or private school institutions in the 50 United States and the District of Columbia.

Submissions will be evaluated for visual appeal, overall hand hygiene messaging, creativity and unique design elements. Finalists in each category will be announced on February 1, 2025, and the public can then vote for their favorite designs on the contest website. Voting closes on February 28, 2025, at 11:59:59 p.m. E.T.

The design with the most votes in each category will receive the top prize, $1,000 for the grand prize winner’s school, a $300 gift card for the winning student and up to 1,000 manual soap/sanitizer dispensers featuring the winner’s design. The grand prize winner for each category will be announced in the spring of 2025.
