The Mannequin Challenge was one of the most widespread trends of the past year. As 2016 drew to a close, the CNHP marketing and communications team found a way to use the challenge to ring in the holidays with the College.

 

So was born the 1st Annual CNHP Holiday Challenge. Departments throughout CNHP were invited to submit their best versions of a festive Mannequin Challenge. Entrants were judged by the interim dean and associate deans of the College based on creativity, humor, and execution. The winner would be presented with a trophy for their team to display, along with bragging rights throughout 2017. It is the hope that the theme of this annual holiday contest would change. Each year the theme would reflect a popular or current trend.

 

Three groups entered the 2016 challenge. CNHP operations and assessment department set their submission to Christmas Vacation while Behavioral Health Counseling went for an oldie, but goodie, Rocking Around the Christmas Tree. The third department and the winner of the 1st Annual CNHP Holiday Challenge was the marketing and communications team whose challenge was set to the tune It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. 

 

Winners and runner ups were announced before the holiday break. Be sure to enter your department in next year's Holiday Video Challenge.
