A 12 year old inventor and entrepreneur has formulated a revolutionary soap-like disinfectant to help curb the spread of Covid-19. Now, she is looking for an innovative bottle designer to help her design a unique bottle that compliments the new product line and provides added value and safety.
THE CHALLENGE: Design a Fresh, Original and Safer Soap Bottle for this new cutting edge product!
There are many soaps on the market – So, make your Soap Bottle Design stand out and drive sales! The design must address the growing concerns with sanitation and hygiene. This challenge focuses on creativity, originality and design.
Winner will not only receive Prize Money!!!! If your bottle is selected, as our winner you will be part of history, receiving design recognition in our extensive media campaign, including a featured video spot. (This part of the prize is optional. So, if you’re camera shy we totally get it.)
Technical Requirements :
Must hold 7.5 fl Oz (preferred size) to maximum 12 fl oz.
Not a must, but standard soap pump ‘engine’ makes it easier to reach target costs (Standard “Pump” Product file included for your consideration)
Must be able to be mass produced.
Must contemplate space for required manufacturing labels.
Entry must include:
Please submit your design entry with images, a Neutral File Format (.igs, .stp, .fbx, .obj, .x3d, etc.) and a native file format if applicable (SolidWorks, Inventor, CATIA, Creo, NX, 3ds max, etc.).
Rendering of your design preferred
2D drawings for design patent
Calculations for soap capacity
2. Branding – The shape/design must be distinct and recognizable on a shelf.
3. Better Design – What drives you crazy about soap pumps? Fix It!
4. Gaps in the Market – Help our resellers! Make it unique... could be price, material or a new feature. Make it easy for our sellers to sell.
5. Space – Think about how it will fit in with the rest of the products on the store shelves.
6. How is it made – What manufacturing techniques will be used? Can you reduce costs? This soap will be mass produced, so manufacturing costs matter.
7. Market Trends – Where will the market be in the next few years? Must think ahead. Times have changed and so should our soap bottles.
8. Stand out – Make your design compelling/special !
9. Environmental Impact – What is the entire environmental impact of the bottle?
10. Curb Appeal – the design should be able be used by kids and adults.
11. Clean, Slick and must scream “What’s inside is Different! Better! ” This is NOT your grandmother’s soap.
12. Product Inventor must approve the winner of the product bottle design. After submission, she will provide any design feedback to the top competing Bottle Design Finalists.
13. Feel free to contact us for more direction on our needs for the project!
UPDATE: WE HAD A FAMILY EMERGENCY AND APOLOGIZE FOR OUR NON-RESPONSIVENESS. THE FINALIST HAVE BEEN NOMINATED. WE APPRECIATE ALL THE ENTRIES!!!!
Update: we have extended the contest only to ensure the bottle manufacturer has time to work with the finalist on the requirements for consideration. Monday finalist will be contacted with additional information, as our manufacturer is currently unavailable for feedback. We are super excited to close out this contest! We had a lot of great submissions... thanks!
We are doing two bottles! Hoped for one universal bottle for kids and adults, but based on the submission (which have been adult focused) I don’t think that is going to happen.
*****The KIDS line is the first to launch. It’s called “Color Me Clean” that is our PRIORITY! *****
$$$ We will be adding more prize money based on the Design submissions! The adult submissions are great!!!!!
I’ve attached a very Very rough drawing of a bottle with a hole in it, so kids can ensure the soap gets on their palms.
The issue with is that it would require a modified pump, so we also roughed up a design using a standard pump. So your pointer finger and middle finger would wrap around it. Feel free to work with this very rough idea, too.
For the kids it’s important we have advertising space on the bottle front to add Characters, etc.
I’ve attached some of our characters, as well. Please only use them for this project. Thanks!

We need a bottle that will be our brand.... it needs to be unique and have a safety component to help limit the passing of germs in some way....
The soap will have tiny beads so keep that in mind when designing the pumping part.
Think that is all for now ;)

WE ARE LAUNCHING THE KIDS SOAP FIRST. That is our priority and will be our main market for now. I uploaded some very rough photos of a bottle with a hole in it for a Child's hand. We love designs that are finger tip free, too. Hope that helps :)
And we will be adding Prizes to cover

Realized everyone needs more guidance. I'm sorry this is our first time on here.

(But, if you come up with a unique travel bottle/dispenser for soap/sanitizer that I can use, I will add another award for that, as well. Or even a way for KIDS to carry soap/sanitizer to school discretely. Feel free to think outside the box. I'll add award levels if I can use the design to dispense soap/sanitizer and help keep people safe. )

I'm Landyn and I'm the 12 year old designer ;) This is my project. I'm excited to see all the designs!
I want everyone to know that as I looked through the designers on this site you are all so amazing. I wish I had a million dollars to pay you :) I am using my money to launch this product because it will help a lot of people. I wish I could offer you sooooooo much more.
I pray that you will consider my project because it will help people!!!! My mom was a former tv person and is going to feature the winner in all our media exposure and on our website. I just wanted everyone to know this because I really really appreciate you even considering helping with the bottle. I want to make sure you get as much as I can give to you for helping make my dream a reality.
Thank you! Landyn
