The
Back to School Art Contest began Monday, July 9 and entries from young
artists ages 5-13 - no help from parents allowed -- will be taken
through July 20. The winning design will be printed on a limited run of
Liberty's new 16 oz. kids bottles and sold on www.libertybottles.com
and through participating retailers. The company will donate $7 from
each bottle sold to the art program at the winning student's school.
"These
new kids bottles have been a lot of fun for our illustrators to design,
and we know there are some talented young people out there who can do
us one better," said Liberty Co-Founder Ryan Clark. "Plus, we know art
programs around the country are struggling to survive and every little
bit helps, so it's a chance for the winning artist to make a real
difference at their school."
The
contest opened at 12:01 a.m. on July 9 and submissions will be accepted
through July 20. Entries will be posted on Facebook (www.facebook.com/libertybottleworks) and judged based on the following criteria:
- The number of likes an entry receives on Liberty's Facebook page
- Best design as decided by Liberty's art staff
- Relevance of Back-to-School themed design
Artwork
must be no larger than 8.64" wide by 2.27" tall and must be original.
Artists (or their parents, on their behalf!) can enter by submitting to
the Liberty Bottleworks Facebook page with the artist's age included in
the caption. Entries may also be sent to libertybottleworks@me.com to be posted on the Liberty Facebook page.
Votes
will be accepted through July 20 and five finalists will be named on
July 21. The winning design will be the one with the most "likes" by
July 31, and their design will go into production immediately using
Liberty's one-of-a-kind cylindrical digital printer to transfer their
art onto the Made-in-the-USA bottles.
The
new line of kids bottles from Liberty boast the same features found on
the company's 24 and 32 oz. models - BPA-free, recycled aluminum
construction, food grade inner coating, tapered neck for easy pouring
and dent resistant design - but come in a smaller package. The 16 oz.
version will feature Liberty's standard, patent-pending quarter turn
cap, while the smaller, soon-to-be-released 12 oz. bottle will come
standard with the new sport cap, which is spill proof and easy for
younger children to use.
The 16oz. kids bottles retail for $18 and are available from www.libertybottleworks.com
and through retailers around the country.
