America has voted and now 12 young artists will have their
artwork reproduced on millions of Heinz Ketchup packets as the
winners in the fifth annual Heinz® Ketchup Creativity™
Contest. Pop artist Burton Morris and a panel of judges identified
36 finalists from the more than 26,000 entries from students who
poured on their enthusiasm and creativity for America’s Favorite
Ketchup®.
Heinz Ketchup lovers in the U.S. will see 12 winners’ designs on
millions of Heinz Ketchup packets in the 2011-2012 school year, and
see grand prize winner Stephanie Zdimal’s design on Heinz Ketchup
bottles on store shelves. Stephanie, an eleventh grade student from
Chenango Forks High School in Binghamton, N.Y., will be awarded a
$5,700 cash prize at an exclusive award ceremony with Burton
Morris. Each of the 12 winners will receive a $1,000 cash
prize.
“The level of energy and talent that poured into the artwork for
this year’s Heinz Ketchup Creativity Contest is outstanding,”
Morris said. “I am continually impressed each year and commend
these students for their passion and creativity.”
“Stephanie Zdimal's version of the iconic Heinz Ketchup packet
brings to life the colorful personality of the brand,” said Erin
Catalina, brand manager for Heinz Ketchup. "Choosing a grand prize
winner from our 12 winning designs was difficult, but Stephanie's
creative artwork is a perfect representation of the Ketchup
