Abbie Warrick from Sumter, South Carolina won for her adorable cardboard carrying case.



And Ford Clark from Cincinnati created “Sing the Saica City” entry, featuring a skyline of Cincinnati made of cardboard.

“The creativity we saw was amazing – I am really impressed,” said Akin Önder, General Manager, Saica U.S. “The contest gave us a chance to connect with the community we’re joining here in the U.S. and demonstrated how our products can be reused and repurposed.”
