Student artists from across the U.S. let their creativity flow
in this year’s fifth annual Heinz® Ketchup Creativity™ Contest.
More than 26,000 entries poured in, and Pop artist Burton Morris
and a panel of judges selected 36 finalists whose work showcased
creativity, originality and enthusiasm for Heinz® Ketchup.
Beginning today, the public can help choose the winners by
voting online for their favorites at www.KetchupCreativity.com.
Twelve winners will be selected, one from each grade in grades K/1
through 12, and one grand prize winner will earn a $5,700 cash
prize. The grand prize winner will see his or her winning artwork
appear on millions of Heinz Ketchup bottles, which will become
available on store shelves in the 2011-2012 school year, and
receive a visit from Morris during a special awards ceremony at the
winner’s school.
“I was honored to return as a judge for the fifth annual Heinz
Ketchup Creativity Contest,” Morris said. “I am so inspired by the
impressive designs, degree of artistry and love for Heinz Ketchup
that shines through in these colorful masterpieces. I encourage
everyone to vote and can’t wait to see who wins.”
The 12 talented winners’ artwork will appear on millions of
Heinz Ketchup packets nationwide and featured in the Winners’
Gallery at www.KetchupCreativity.com. Each winner will receive a
$1,000 cash prize and a framed poster of their artwork, which will
be presented at a school award ceremony. The winners’ schools will
receive $1,000 toward art supplies and $1,000 worth of Heinz
Ketchup.
“We have received an astounding support from schools, students
and parents over the past five years,” said Erin Catalina, brand
manager for Heinz Ketchup. “With each year, we are continually
amazed by the level of talent, creativity and mostly, enthusiasm
that students have for America’s Favorite Ketchup™.
