A Little Friendly Competition

I’m a competitive and collaborative person. I see the beauty in both qualities, especially when friendly competition spurs us to new levels of achievement.

This month, the Mandell JCC staff in Greater Hartford proved just what a little friendly competition can achieve with a sprinkling of creative fairy dust. Each department made a menorah representing them — and the results are whimsical and delightfully over the top.

Aquatics? Used kickboards, of course!
Early Childhood? Paint cups and craft supplies for a multi-story masterpiece.
Marketing went for paper, covering their menorah with origami stars.
Even Accounting got artistic with, well, accounting stuff. 😉

My only regret? I can’t fit them all in one post for you. But if this friendly competition can produce such delightful results, imagine what would happen if you challenged yourself? Your family? Some friends? You might be surprised what you can produce.

And isn’t that what art is all about?
