Duck® Brand Awards $5,000 for Sweet Design Creation
AVON, Ohio (PRWEB) October 08, 2015 -- The perfect cupcake must have all the right details — an adorable cupcake liner, baked-to-perfection cake, icing piled high, colorful sprinkles and a cherry on top. And, that’s just the recipe that earned Lisa Ng of Redmond, Washington, the highest scores – and the $5,000 grand prize – in The Kids In Need Foundation + Duck Tape® Cupcake Design Contest.
The creative contest was hosted by Duck® brand duct tape in honor of The Kids In Need Foundation’s 20th birthday. More than 125 entries were received, each showcasing a variety of cupcake-themed prints. Lisa’s masterpiece – which she says was created with the help of her daughter – utilized colored pencils to depict the delectable dessert, from the chocolate cake down to the last scrumptious sprinkle.
“The judges were wowed by the originality, creativity, artistic merit and overall quality of Lisa’s design,” said Patti LaPorte, senior category manager, at ShurTech Brands, LLC, the company that markets the Duck® brand. “Its whimsical style would fit right in with our line of Duck Tape® prints.”
The winning entry was showcased on September 30th during the Duck® brand-sponsored cupcake-themed after party at The Kids In Need Foundation’s Education Celebration Gala in Minneapolis. Lisa’s winning cupcake print was transformed into a larger-than-life-sized replica completely covered in Duck Tape®, creating a show stopping centerpiece for the event.
“For 20 years strong, the Kids In Need Foundation has been serving communities across the country by providing free school supplies to students most in need,” said LaPorte. “We were honored to help celebrate this significant milestone.”
