Earlier this year 8^th Continent Soymilk had a package re-design and we created a contest where kids and adults could submit drawings of their own suns for a chance to support the K-12 school of their choice.

From thousands of suns, 50 winners were voted on and 50 others were selected by a panel. The schools of the winning suns received a $1,000 Blick Art Materials gift card to redeem for art supplies totaling in $100,000. Also, the Grand Prize Winners are featured on the new packages of 8^th Continent Soymilk!

And now the moment you have all been waiting for…

Drum Roll Please!

The 8^th Continent Art Contest’s Grand Prize Winners are:

• Rae Holcomb’s design, featured on the Original flavor carton, uses cool shades of and green and has symmetrical triangle-shaped rays centered by a blue smiling face.
• Bryn Pawlik’s design, seen on the Complete Vanilla flavor carton, includes a golden rays emanating from the sun’s cheery, pink face.
• Ann Rose’s sun design, included on the Vanilla flavor carton, features a whimsical face – with the sun winking at the viewer – highlighted with gold and red rays that create a sense of movement.
• Lacey Rosman’s perfectly round sun design, which appears on the Light Vanilla flavor carton, has an expressive face surrounded by a rainbow of brightly colored rays.

Each of the designs was selected based on their creativity, uniqueness and how they represented a bright and sunny outlook to the new day – much like our soymilk product. You can also see the rest of the winning suns here.

Even though the contest is over- there is never a wrong time to share a little sunshine! Make sure to fan us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to keep updated about any new contests we will be having in the future.
