I recently learned about a fun little contest – 8th Continent Soymilk is asking kids to draw and submit their own sun-inspired artwork, to go along with their newly unveiled carton design. Kids ages 5 and up can submit their artwork to the 8th Continent website, or even use the drawing tool right on the website. (Fun! My kids LOVE stuff like this.) One hundred winners will each receive $1,000 in art supplies for their school art programs, and the winning designs could be featured on 8th Continent soymilk cartons this fall.
More details about the contest, from their press release:
Children five years and older can submit their own sun-inspired artwork at www.8thcontinent.com Entries can also be created online through an interactive drawing tool at www.8thcontinent.com Contest participants can submit one artwork entry per day through 11:59 pm EST on June 12, 2010 All design submissions will be featured on www.8thcontinent.com in an online gallery where the public can vote for their favorite work of art The number of public votes in the online gallery will determine 50 contest winners and a panel of judges selected by Stremicks Heritage Food will determine an additional 50 winners The 100 winners will each be recognized with $1,000 in art supplies for their school art programs – for a grand total of $100,000! Winning designs may also be featured on 8th Continent soymilk cartons beginning this fall!
Here’s some stuff you probably didn’t know: 8th Continent soymilk is made from soybeans grown in here in the U.S. (My oldest daughter has lots of extended family out in central Illinois, growing vast amounts of soybeans – wonder if any of them make their way to 8th Continent?) 8th Continent soymilk is an excellent source of calcium, and is the only American Heart Association-certified soymilk containing less than 3 grams of fat. It’s available in four different varieties: complete, regular, light, and fat free – and it’s lactose free, vegan, and Kosher.
And, it tastes good! Know how I know? 8th Continent was kind enough to hook me up with a prize pack, which contained a coupon for me to try it myself, along with yummy cereal and darling melamine bowls (my kids are fighting over them right now – two bowls don’t go very far in a family of seven!) In addition to the breakfast items, the prize pack also contained some art supplies so my kids could enter their sun drawings in the contest. And, because they’re cool, they’re giving me a second prize pack to award to one LaLaGirl reader. Could be you! Yes, could be. In order to win, just leave a comment on this very entry. You can get a bonus entry by LIKING me on Facebook. But you already do like me, right? Right? One winner will be drawn on Monday, May 24, 2010.

Oooh! Ooh! Anderson drinks Soy milk most of the time because unfotunately it seems he has inherited my sensitive tummy. So, anytime he even has the smallest sniffle or upset tummy it is Soymilk for weeks until he is all better. Turns out, we love it! Who knew? Plus, I think that my nephew Tyler (Jen’s son) would love to enter that contest and it would be something I would love to do with him. So pick us randomly!
Wow, what an awesome give-away! I’ll totally have my daughter create a piece of art work; she loves art, so why not?
Thanks for the heads up!
You KNOW we’re a soy milk family…in fact, you’ve even bought soy milk for us! LOL!
I think I must already “like” you…because I can’t find the like button anywhere on your wall. Just to be safe, I “liked” this post on FB, lol!!!
I’d love to win this!
With four kids and 2 lactose in tolerant, any help in this area we could get would be nice!
You sure get some neat stuff!
We haven’t tried this milk yet but would like to.
I’d love to try this, I already drink Silk. Thanks for this giveaway!
