A soap superhero or a rocket ship headed for the sky? These are just two of the finalist designs you can vote for in Deb Group’s second annual Happy Hands contest, which promotes hand hygiene at schools. You can view the student-drawn designs and vote for your favorite now through February 28.
“Each dispenser design submission found an inventive way to make handwashing fascinating and fun,” said Isabelle Faivre, Vice President of Marketing, Deb USA. “With this year’s severe flu season, it’s more important than ever to teach students about the importance of hand hygiene in a memorable way.”
Using bright and bold colors and creative concepts, each finalist design shows the importance of handwashing in a unique, imaginative way. The 2017/2018 Happy Hands contest finalists include:
