The "Splash Design It" competition is a great way to give kids a fun summer activity and award them a priceless opportunity to showcase their ingenuity on a broader scale. Design is a prominent aspect of our business, so sharing that with youngsters and giving them a platform to design aligns perfectly with our philosophy. We hope to involve kids of all ages and can't wait to see what talent the region has to offer."
