ATLANTA, July 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Elmer's, the
crafting brand recognized for its kid-friendly and
creativity-fueling crafting solutions, kicked off its first-ever
Ooey Gluey Slime Games today. This series of slime making
competitions challenges young people to create a video to show off
their one-of-a-kind slime from now until September 16, 2018.
"The slime trend took social media by storm and continues to
grow as kids seek fun new ways to express their creativity with
Elmer's," said Victor Misawa, senior
vice president of Marketing, Writing, Newell Brands. "The Ooey Gluey Slime Games were
designed to inspire people to show off their unique slime creations
with our products. This is also an opportunity for kids to become
famous for their slime making skills."
There are six different categories for slime makers to enter
their totally out-there and original slime recipes, including the
"Brightest," "Coolest Textured," "Most Unique Slime Art," "Biggest
Slime Bubble," "Craziest Color Combo," and the "Grossest" slime.
The top videos in each category will be in the running to be
crowned the Ooey Gluey Slime Games Champion by a panel of judges,
including well-known slime influencer Nichole Jacklyne.
All entrants could have the chance to win awesome prizes, like a
year's supply of Elmer's glue, materials for a slime party for
their class, cash, and a new tablet. The Ooey Gluey Slime Games
Champion also wins a video production kit and a video collaboration
with Nichole Jacklyne.
"I started making slime and coming up with different types of
recipes as a way to express my creativity in a non-traditional
way," said Jacklyne. "I'm so excited to partner with Elmer's as a
judge for its first-ever Ooey Gluey Slime Games to encourage kids
all over the country to participate and show off their innovative
slime-making skills. I'm a huge fan of Elmer's Glue and have been
using it for years to make my slime creations and I can't wait to
see what the kids come up with."
Two additional influencers, Joseph Anthonii and
RainbowPlayMaker, will also demonstrate their own slime concoctions
and encourage their followers to participate in the
games.
