In a household with young children, there are a few essential items that you should never be without. And if those children lead active life styles, Band-Aids (curitas), are essential. With a constant string of cuts and abrasions, Band-Aids, carry magical healing power that starts working as soon as they are stuck on the golpe. Throw in some Neosporin, and you have a perfect healing combination, guaranteed to provide rapid healing. The only thing that seems to work even better is a magical kiss from Mami or Papi.
Johnson and Johnson, makers of Band-Aid Brand Adhesive Bandages, is sponsoring an art contest to find the best drawings illustrating a situation where you need Band-Aids. There is nothing required to participate in the contest, all you need to do is express a Band-Aid moment from your life.
Using whatever materials you like, draw your moment on a 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper. Parents and friends are allowed to help, but hopefully this won't be like all of those crazy assignments teachers give where it's obvious that the parents have to do most of the work. You have until July 27th to submit your entry.
There are three age categories, each with its own grand prize. For ages 12-15, the winner will get a pass for Galaxy Lanes for a pizza party for the winner plus 2 friends and 3 adults. In the 8-11 age category, the winner will receive a pass to Wonder Park in Carolina for a pizza party for the winner plus 4 friends and 5 adults. Finally, for the little ones, ages 3-7, the winner will receive a $100 certificate for Build-A-Bear in Plaza Las Americas.
Once finished, send your child's artwork along with your child's contact information (name address, and telephone) to:
Culinary Entertaintment, Inc.For more information, or to receive a copy of the rules of the contest, email miguel@ejenet.com.
