Hu-Friedy has launched its popular Ortho Wire Bending Contest.
For the past decade, Hu-Friedy has been challenging orthodontic residents and practitioners worldwide to showcase their creativity and wire-bending talents during an onsite competition at the annual American Academy of Orthodontics (AAO) show. This year, Hu-Friedy is giving even more practitioners an opportunity to be recognized for their wire-bending creations with a new online component, the Voter's Choice contest.
All submissions will be posted to Hu-Friedy's Facebook and Pinterest social media pages beginning March 11, 2013, and will be open for voting through April 1, 2013. All online submissions are also eligible to bring to the onsite contest at AAO. The winner(s) of the online contest will be announced on April 2 and displayed at AAO. Winners will be automatically entered into the onsite contest.
The online winner for the Anything Goes competition will receive $1,500 (retail value) worth of Hu-Friedy Ortho Instruments and the Single Wire competition winner will win $500 (retail value) worth of Hu-Friedy instruments.
For the AAO onsite contest, submissions will be accepted at Hu-Friedy's booth from the start of the show on May 4 until closing on May 6. Judging will take place the evening of May 6 and winners will be announced May 7. Orthodontic wire and instruments will be available at the Hu-Friedy booth throughout the show for Single Wire submissions to be created on site. Prizes include $3,000 (retail value) worth of Hu-Friedy Ortho Instruments for Anything Goes and $1,000 (retail value) worth of Hu-Friedy instruments for the winner of the Single Wire competition.
Both contests are open to global orthodontic residents and private practitioners. Click here for a list of full contest details.
