Be A Dental Inventor!
Dr. Fresh® Sponsors Fourth Annual Toothbrush Design Contest In Honor Of February’s National Children’s Dental Health Month
Imagine a toothbrush so much fun to use that kids would brush your teeth without a single reminder from Mom or Dad.
Dr. Fresh is asking second through fifth graders across the U.S. to dream up just such a toothbrush with “Be A Dental Inventor” – the fourth annual toothbrush design contest celebrating National Children’s Dental Health Month this February 2010. www.drfresh.com.
Dr. Fresh, the Buena Park, California-based company known for its bright and sparkly FireFly™ toothbrushes that light up and flash to encourage thorough brushing, is challenging kids to come up with the ultimate kid-friendly toothbrush, one that is not only easy, but fun to use.
Kids in second through fifth grades are being asked to submit a drawing of their fantasy toothbrush and briefly explain why they think it will appeal to other kids. The first prize winner and a parent or guardian will receive a trip to Buena Park, California, where they will visit the Dr. Fresh headquarters, as well as enjoy a day at the nearby Disneyland Resort. The winner will also receive a $500 U.S. Savings Bond, while two runners up will each receive a $250 U.S. Savings bonds. Each contest entrant will also receive a complimentary Dr. Fresh FireFly toothbrush. “Kids have the brightest ideas when it comes to motivating other kids to brush their teeth,” says Dr. Fresh. “Their toothbrush ideas get more creative all the time, and our team really looks forward to reviewing them each year.” To enter, children should submit an original drawing of their toothbrush design, accompanied by a brief written description (100 words or less) on why they think kids would like to use this toothbrush. All media – paints, crayons, chalk, pencils, markers – accepted. Judges will be looking for originality, creativity and motivational appeal. No licensed (e.g. cartoon) characters may be used, and all work must be the entrant’s own. No purchase necessary. Entries must be original, and be accompanied by an official contest entry form or reasonable facsimile thereof. Contest entries can be mailed to Hazmat Media (address) and must be postmarked by January 24, 2010. For complete contest guidelines and to download an official entry form, please visit http://www.drfresh.com/ or www.firefly.us.com. All entries become the property of Dr. Fresh, Inc. and will not be returned.

That would be so fun for the kids to do! Imagine how excited they'd be if their artwork was picked! :)
This is a great way to get kids involved and promote Children's Dental Health month.
