Walt Disney Studios and The Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) partnered in celebration of STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS. For the latest installment, Disney/LucasFilm and HP created “Art Awakens”, a new program for Star Wars fans across the country to create themed artwork. The competition kicked off August 11th with the launch of a two-month-long nationwide fan art competition across the US. Amateur artists could submit their STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS inspired art on ArtAwakens.com for a chance to be featured in an upcoming professional art exhibit. 

The 5 lucky winners were selected by a judging committee, and the winners were flown to Los Angeles to attend the VIP opening night, and received other prizes from HP. 1 of the 5 lucky winners also received a Star Wars HP Notebook Computer to help them push the boundaries of art and creativity.

The winners' artwork pieces were later auctioned off to benefit UNICEF Kid Power.
