Way back in September, vitaminwater asked its Facebook fans to pick the newest flavor of vitaminwater and to help create a unique design for the label. Â Now, after months of waiting, the winning results are finally in!
Say hello to vitaminwater connect – a black cherry-lime flavor made with caffeine and 8 key nutrients. Â You can check out the images of the winning design here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1646988/vitaminwater_connect_images.zip
One grand prize winner and four finalists were chosen whose labels all inspired the finished product, (Sarah from Illinois (grand prize winner), David from Ohio, Regina from Ohio, Leah from California, Angie from Florida). Â Â The grand prize winner and four finalists were chosen with a little help from some friends of vitaminwater – Carrie Underwood and 50 Cent.
All five winners were each awarded a $5,000 prize.  vitaminwater connect will be available in stores nationwide in March 2010 – so until then, stay thirsty – and keep your eyes on www.facebook.com/vitaminwater <http://www.facebook.com/vitaminwater>  for news, information, and special offers for connect, including a possible sneak tasting opportunity.  LMK if you need any more info or if you have any questions about the winning design.
Also, this video with Steve Nash and 50 Cent about the contest is pretty hilarious, if you haven’t checked it out already I highly recommend giving it a watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxZkaEge0R8
