Basketball stars to make a special appearance at the two winning schools
PURCHASE, N.Y., March 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Aquafina® announced the launch of the "Aquafina Happy Body Dance School Contest" for elementary and middle school students across the U.S. The brand is inviting students along with their parent or legal guardian to create a video entry of their best Happy Body Dance for a chance to win an NBA/WNBA FIT Clinic - featuring a visit from NBA and WNBA players and legends - at their school. The two winning video entries will be selected by fans and announced on May 2nd, 2016.
Beginning today through 11:59 PM CT on April 4th, 15-second videos of Happy Body Dances can be submitted to AquafinaHappyBodyDance.com, or by using #HappyBodyDanceContest on Instagram. A parent or legal guardian (18 or older) must also appear in the video in addition to registering to upload the video. A qualified committee of judges will select the top 10 videos as part of the semi-finalist judging phase. Those 10 videos will then be available on AquafinaHappyBodyDance.com for fans to vote for the two winners (April 9th through April 25th).
NBA players C.J. McCollum and Noah Vonleh got in on the action and filmed their own Happy Body Dance videos that will live on the site throughout the contest.
"Staying hydrated is so important on and off the court," said C.J. McCollum. "I am excited to be a part of this initiative alongside Aquafina and can't wait to see some of the breakout dance moves throughout the contest."
In 2015, Aquafina launched the "For Happy Bodies" campaign, which focuses on the feel-good moments that water brings the body after consumption. Aquafina is a supporter of the Drink Up Initiative through the Partnership for a Healthier America, an effort that encourages people to drink more water more often.
