CHICAGO—Hu-Friedy, a manufacturer of dental instruments and products, has announced the 2015 Annual Global Ortho Wire Bending Contest.

For the past 12 years, Hu-Friedy has been challenging orthodontic residents and practitioners worldwide to showcase their creativity and wire-bending talents onsite at the annual AAO show and more recently through an online challenge. 

Both the online and onsite contests offer two separate submission categories: Single Wire and Anything Goes. Entries in the “Single Wire” category must be designed from a single piece of orthodontic wire, while entries in the “Anything Goes” category can be designed from multiple orthodontic wires.

The Online Voter’s Choice Contest will accept submissions from Feb. 17 until March 30, 2015. Contestants can enter on Hu-Friedy’s Facebook page or go directly to www.Hu-Friedy.com/wire-bending-contest. All entries will be posted to Hu-Friedy’s Facebook page beginning March 31 and open for voting through April 7.

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 8 and displayed at AAO. Winners will be automatically entered into the onsite contest. The online winner for “Anything Goes” will receive $1,500 worth of Hu-Friedy ortho instruments and the “Single Wire” winner will win $500 worth of Hu-Friedy instruments. 

Submissions for the AAO onsite contest will be accepted at Hu-Friedy’s booth from the start of the show on May 16 until closing on May 18. Judging will take place the evening of May 18 and winners will be announced on May 20.

Orthodontic wire and instruments will be available at the Hu-Friedy booth throughout the show for single wire submissions created onsite. Prizes include: $3,000 worth of Hu-Friedy ortho instruments for Anything Goes and $1,000 worth of Hu-Friedy instruments for the winner of the Single Wire competition.

Both contests are open to global orthodontic residents and private practitioners.
