WATERFORD, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Deb
Group today announced that pre-registration is now open for its
first Happy Hands Dispenser Design Contest. The program was created to
promote the importance of proper hand hygiene at school in an artistic
and creative manner by giving students the opportunity to design their
own soap dispenser. Schools can pre-register for the contest online at info.debgroup.com/happyhands-ca
through October 2, 2016.
The contest will award the winning design in each category – elementary,
middle and high school – with a $200 gift card. Each winning students’
school will also receive a $500 donation. The winning designs will be
custom printed for free on up-to 500 manual Deb soap/sanitizer
dispensers for use at the students’ school.
“It is vital for children to understand the importance of proper hand
hygiene,” said Isabelle Faivre, Vice President of Marketing, Deb North
America. “As part of the contest, we’ll provide teachers with
easy-to-understand hand hygiene awareness materials such as posters and
other fun learning materials to educate students throughout the school
year.”
The Happy Hands Dispenser Design Contest is open to all students in
grades kindergarten through 12. Designs will be evaluated for visual
appeal, overall design, creativity and unique design elements.
Representatives from Healthy Schools Campaign will help select 10
finalists in each category. Between January 16, 2017 and February 19,
2017, the public will be able to vote for their favorite design among
the finalists. The designs receiving the most votes in each category
will be announced on March 1, 2017.

and applaud them for developing the Healthy Hands contest to educate
students about the importance of hand hygiene at school and home,” said
Rochelle Davis, CEO and President, Healthy Schools Campaign. “The
contest will teach students proper hand hygiene techniques early on,
which will help them establish lifelong hand washing habits.”
