White Cup Art Contest

Apr 22, 2014 by Erin W

We know that we have the most creative customers out there. Already plenty of artistic souls are taking our paper cups and drawing or painting beautiful images on them. You took our blank canvas and made it into a work of art. And then you took it one step further, with the idea to create a cup design contest!

Starting today we are asking for your cup art designs as part of a contest where the winner could be produced on a reusable tumbler. Just submit a photo of your cup art on Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag #WhiteCupContest. You can see some of the entries on ourPinterest Board.

The winning design may be produced on a limited edition cup and sold online in the fall. We’ll let you know when that happens, too. We can’t wait to see what you come up with. Your creativity astounds us! Read the official rules here.
