Owowcow Invites Kids To Create Their Own Ice Cream Flavor, Win Prizes

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Hey kids. Here's a chance to create your own ice cream and win some really cool stuff from Owowcow.

This spring, the Bucks County-based ice cream maker, ranked as one of the best ice cream shops in America, is bringing back its popular Owowcow Kid's Flavor Contest.

"Calling all kids up to 14 years old. We want to make your dream ice cream flavor," said the folks at Owowcow.

Entry is easy. Download a form from the ice cream store's website or pick one up at Owowcow locations in Easton, Ottsville, Chalfont, Wrightstown, and Lambertville, New Jersey.

The next step is to fill out the worksheet, including the name and ingredients of your dream ice cream flavor, and return it to a store location or email it to contest@owowcow.com to enter by March 24.

The winning five ice cream creations will be featured on Owowcow's ice cream menu during May at its store locations. Some past favorites have included Barrel of Monkeys, Tiger's Eye, Candyland and Gorilla Glue.

"We also were able to make a flavor for a local girl to support her mom fighting cancer. That was special for everyone involved," said Owowcow's managing director Shira Tizer Wade.

Every year, the kids surprise the ice cream maker with their creativity. "And the flavors turn out amazing," said Wade. "The kids are so incredibly creative. It's always super hard to choose winners!"

Winners will be treated to a number of prizes, including a limited edition t-shirt, a fancy trophy, and a free ice cream sampling with friends and family. In addition to fun prizes, Owowcow will donate a portion of May sales to a nonprofit of the winner's choosing.

"This is such a great way for kids to express their creativity," said Wade. "They get to imagine and create their very own dream flavor of ice cream and then name and draw it. And if they win, we will make their dream ice cream and serve it in all of our shops all May long!"

Since 2009 the local creamery has been hand-crafting super-premium ice cream from scratch using local organic and natural ingredients that support local agriculture.

Its ice cream cases hold 24 flavors of ice cream including 12 signature core flavors that the creamery makes year-round at all stores. The other spots are filled with monthly specials and seasonal favorites, along with dairy-free sorbet and vegan ice cream.
