Teddy Bear Makeover Challenge An International Success TeddesFirst...

It looks like the bears at Tedde speak a world of languages. The company recently announced the winners of its first-ever Teddy Bear Makeover Challenge (www.teddybearmakeover.com), and the 18 winning designs represent a United Nations of creativity, personality and love.

Artists from Belgium, Canada, Colombia, England, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Serbia, Singapore and Spain knocked the stuffing out of the competition. Of course, the United States is represented as well, with winning designs from Virginia, North Carolina, Indiana and New York artists.

Tedde, the Manhattan-based teddy bear company celebrated for its fresh approach to the creation of teddy bears, is known for its innovation. The company teams with designers to create original, handcrafted bears in small, limited-edition quantities.

We'sre overwhelmed by the global response we received, said Tedde'ss founder and president, Sky Khan.

Choosing the winners was such a difficult decision, added Khan. There are so many talented individuals and it was an honor to have them submit their designs to Tedde.

Khan was quick to note that many of the winners have opted to donate their prizes to support Tedde'ss charity of choice: protecting endangered polar bears.

With the first Teddy Bear Makeover Challenge turning out to be such a success, it looks like bear season will be back again this summer.

We want to build on the first contest, said Khan. The world can always use more Teddes--and more bear hugs.
