Middle and High School Art Teachers Will Be
Eligible for the Grand Prize
SHELTON,
Conn., April 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Edgewell
Personal Care Company (NYSE: EPC) and the Dollar General
Literacy Foundation (DGLF) announced the second
annual Emerging Artist Contest, focused on educators
for 2024. Middle and High School art teachers are encouraged
to visit EmergingArtistProject.com to enter their original piece of
artwork for consideration to win a one-time prize and the chance
for their design to be featured on limited-edition Schick Intuition
packaging at Dollar General. The contest will accept
submissions through June 3, 2024.
This year's new contest theme calls for teachers to submit a
feel-good design that communicates the importance of literacy
through their design. The winning teacher will receive a
$10,000 prize, half of which will go
toward supporting their classroom, and the other half will go
toward the winner's individual artistic pursuits. Through the
contest, Edgewell and its Schick Intuition shave brand aim to
elevate creative expression and encourage teachers to continue
supporting literacy and the arts within their community.
Edgewell is dedicated to enacting its corporate purpose, values
and behaviors, and this contest will continue to support its
People First value, specifically. By giving back to the
community and sharing the brand platform with educators who
directly support, teach and encourage creative expression, the
company aims to bring joy to its community, offer support and
empower creative expression.
Rod Little, CEO of
Edgewell Personal Care, said, "Edgewell looks to lead with
people at the forefront of every decision and with that, we
are pleased to be launching the second year of this contest. We
look forward to encouraging creativity through art and literacy and
supporting some of the most integral individuals within our
community, educators. We're so proud to partner with the Dollar
General Literacy Foundation to enrich the lives of those in our
community and make a meaningful, positive impact with this
project."

Artist Project," shared Denine

Foundation. "With a new focus on empowering and supporting
educators, we look forward to continuing our efforts to advance
literacy and education in Dollar General's hometown communities
across the country."
