Kleenex® is honoring teachers for the heroes they are through a nomination contest with over $40,000 in prizes.

As Kleenex® celebrates 100 years of strength, the iconic brand is launching a contest to celebrate the strength of teachers. All nominated teachers will receive a congratulations certificate to notify them that their job as a teacher is changing lives and someone wants to recognize them as a hero.

Nominations can be submitted at www.heroesoftheclassroom.com and based on user submissions, Kleenex will offer more than $40,000 in prizes, including:

The first 100 unique eligible teachers to be nominated will receive a $100 Costco Shop gift card.
1 Grand Prize winner will receive $5,000 for the teacher, $5,000 to the teacher’s school, a year’s supply of Kleenex® Brand Tissues for the teacher’s school, and award recognition.
9 First Prize Winners will win a $1,000 Costco Shop gift card for the teacher, $1,000 to the teacher’s school, and award recognition.
AND the individual named as the Nominator on the Grand and First Prize winning entries will receive a $1,000 Costco Shop gift card.

Nominators will answer three short questions about the teacher being nominated and their impact on the lives of students.

All K-12 teachers are eligible to participate in the contest and be recognized for their hard work.

Campus Multimedia is thrilled to celebrate teachers in partnership with Kleenex and Costco in a way that supports staff, schools, and even those impacted enough to make a nomination. It’s our joy to connect an iconic brand like Kleenex to schools especially considering how Kleenex is so integral for every classroom’s back-to-school needs.

- Karl Mawhinney, CEO and Founder of Campus Multimedia.

Following a nomination period, Kleenex will announce 10 teachers for a time of public voting around the start of the 2024-’25 school year.

The celebration of teachers around back-to-school will put an extra spotlight on the amazing teachers in the classroom. Kleenex is partnering with Campus Multimedia, the leader in school marketing execution, to administer this program and engage school communities to recognize incredible teachers. Campus Multimedia is leading school communication and execution to deepen Kleenex’s investment in schools.
