Ring, ring … Cox Mobile, the mobile phone service by Cox Communications, has announced the finalists of its nationwide phone case design competition. Among them is Aimee G., one of 22 finalists, proudly representing the Boys & Girls Club of San Marcos and the San Diego Cox Market.
The contest, which celebrates and expands Cox’s longstanding partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, encouraged teen club members in Cox markets to submit a phone case design for the chance to win a $25,000 scholarship.
“Congratulations to all of our incredible Cox Mobile Boys & Girls Club finalists,” said Colleen Langner, chief residential officer of Cox Communications and Boys & Girls Clubs of America Southeast trustee. “Partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs of America in this way reflects our ongoing commitment to utilizing technology to create meaningful opportunities, support community growth, and inspire the next generation of leaders.”
And the winner is …
Aimee’s design highlights, “A future where we can come together as humanity to help preserve our beloved earth with more sustainable practices like utilizing renewable energy like windmills. A world that is more harmonious, meshing modern human life and technology with the more natural world. My illustration is one of a dream to pass on the world as we know it with all its life on to future generations.”
All finalists will receive an exclusive tech package valued at over $500. The grand prize winner, to be announced in the spring, will receive the $25,000 scholarship. In addition, the grand prize winner’s Boys & Girls Club will receive a $25,000 Cox Innovation Lab grant to provide local members with the tools and technology they need to succeed.
Later this year, OtterBox, Cox Mobile’s exclusive phone case partner for this campaign, will manufacture and sell a phone case featuring the winning design. It will be available online and in Cox retail stores, with proceeds benefitting Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
“Partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to inspire students’ creativity through phone case designs has been an ideal collaboration for Cox Mobile and expands our ability to help Boys & Girls Club of San Marcos make an even greater impact here in San Diego. The art and stories produced by all participants are truly inspiring, and we are so excited to cheer on Aimee G., as she advances in this competition,” said San Diego Market Vice President Chanelle Hawken.
“Cox Mobile’s commitment to innovation and youth development is truly inspiring,” said Chad Hartman, national vice president of Corporate Partnerships & Engagement at Boys & Girls Clubs of America. “This competition empowers our club members to unleash their creativity while gaining invaluable real-world experience. We’re thrilled to partner with Cox Mobile on this exciting initiative and can’t wait to see the winning design brought to life on an OtterBox case, available to the public.”
