First off, we’d like to congratulate Hannah Hamberg for winning the grand prize! Hannah’s design will be painted on an actual Alaska Airlines 737 jet. Her work of art will be flying all over North America for over four years. It will be seen by millions of people! And there’s more! She also gets a vacation for four to the Disneyland® Resort. Hey, maybe they’ll even fly there in style on the plane she designed!
We also gave away 12 first prizes, and the winners weren’t disappointed. First prize is a vacation for four to the Disneyland® Resort! One vacation was awarded to a kid from each grade (K–12, excluding the Grand Prize winner’s grade). And Disneyland has a special trip planned for each of their guests.
Here is a note from our friends at the Disneyland® Resort:
What will you celebrate?
There’s so much in life worth celebrating. So during 2009, the Disneyland® Resort will make it easier for you to magnify the moment in wonderful Disney style! This is the year to gather with all the people who make you the happiest and celebrate at the place where dreams come true. And since birthdays are the one celebration we all share, we start with the most magical birthday present of all: free admission on your birthday during 2009 to one of the Theme Parks of the Disneyland® Resort *! It’s our gift to you and it all begins with a visit to disneyparks.com.
Join us during this very special time at the Disneyland® Resort. The hardest thing for you to decide is: "What will you celebrate?”
