Bainbridge student is labeled a winner with Jones Soda

Whenever Bainbridge High School junior Paige Brigham goes to a Mariner’s game, she has to drink a blue Jones soda. So it’s only fitting that she has recently hit a home run with the Seattle-based Jones Soda Company.

Whenever Bainbridge High School junior Paige Brigham goes to a Mariner’s game, she has to drink a blue Jones soda. So it’s only fitting that she has recently hit a home run with the Seattle-based Jones Soda Company.

A photo of her dog, Conan, drinking from a birdbath will soon be printed on 250,000 “Berry Lemonade” Jones sodas.

Brigham’s photo placed second in the animal category at the 2013 Washington State High School Photography Contest in May. The top three winners of each category (36 photos in total) were honored at a Museum Quality Framing store in Seattle in June. The Jones Soda Company chose six of these photos to decorate their soda bottles.

Brigham originally signed up for the Digital Photo class at Bainbridge High simply because she had heard it was a fun class.

“I thought it would be a nice stress reliever, but I ended up loving it,” Brigham said.

Another surprise: when her photo of Conan gained recognition.

She said she entered the state contest only because it was a requirement for her Digital Photo class at BHS.

“I was really excited when my name was called for the Jones Soda competition, because I didn’t know I had a chance at winning,” Brigham said.

The bottles will be available in stores late 2013 or early 2014.
