Yamaha Kids and Grandkids Design Holiday Card
 16-year-old Tatum, daughter of Yamaha Music Manufacturing general manager John Peek, used Yamaha's world-famous "tuning forks" logo for the snowflakes in her winning design of a holiday choral group. |
BUENA PARK, CA (December 17, 2004) The festive days that mark the end of the year have an extra dash of color this time around, thanks to the artistic efforts of the children of Yamaha employees. Their original designs adorn the company's annual holiday card, the result of a contest organized by Yamaha Cares, the employee-based charitable initiative of Yamaha Corporation of America.
A choral trio hits a high note amid a "snowfall" of Yamaha's well-known "crossed tuning fork" logos in the entry from 16-year-old Tatum, the daughter of Yamaha Music Manufacturing general manager John Peek, as the card's front cover. Hers was the top submission from the older age group, while nine-year-old Melody the daughter of Pro Audio & Combo Division Digital Musical Instruments marketing assistant manager George Hamilton took top honors among the younger artists (and the card's inside cover) with her depiction of a combo performing in front of a Christmas tree.
Second place among the older artists went to Anna, the 14-year-old daughter of administrative coordinator Deanna Garac, for her drawing of holiday carolers. Ten-year-old Hannah, the daughter of assembler Edward Trimble of Yamaha Music Manufacturing, was the second-place artist in the young age group with her scene of musical gifts under a tree.
In third place, the older age group was represented by 14-year-old Elizabeth, the granddaughter of customer service associate Cynthia Watkins, who drew a scene of a holiday fireside with a present-laden tree and a view of a snowy hillside bathed in starlight. And 11-year-old Samantha, the daughter of Yamaha Electronics Corporation staff accountant Catherine Lapid, drew the third-place entry among younger artists with a festive depiction of "the sound of music."
All six top entries are featured as full-color reproductions on the Yamaha Corporation of America holiday card, sent to the company's valued friends and associates around the country.
Organized by Yamaha vice president of Human Resources Carol Baker and Yamaha senior Human Resources representative Christina Holthe, Yamaha Cares uses charitable donations, product donations and hands-on help to promote education, arts, health and human services and community development in the areas where Yamaha employees live and work, as well as to spread the gift of music to people throughout the U.S.
