A Seymour girl is in the lead among five contestants bidding to win an advertising design contest for Turkey Hill brand ice cream.
Stephanie Orts, 16, a junior at Seymour High School, had 45 percent of the votes as of Wednesday afternoon, compared with 39 percent of the votes for her closest rival.
There have been some 80,000 votes so far. Click here to vote for Stephanie!
If she wins, Orts will get a year’s supply of Turkey Hill ice cream and other prizes. Vote for her — because she plans to share the ice cream. Cookie dough is her favorite flavor.
“I told all my friends, everyone who has heard of the contest and has voted, that we will eat it,” she said.
The design with the most votes will be named the grand prize winner, and the design will be featured on one of the Turkey Hill Dairy’s 13-foot-tall giant cows that the company uses to market the ice cream.

Based on voting, a grand prize winner will be selected in early March.
More than 1,400 submissions were narrowed to the five finalists.
Even if Orts doesn’t get the top prize, she’s already guaranteed a one-month supply of Turkey Hill ice cream, a gift basket full of various Turkey Hill items and free admission for four people to the Turkey Hill Experience, an attraction scheduled to open in the spring in Lancaster County, Pa.

Orts’ design is a play on the traditional view of a cow and how the animal can be divvied up for meat. Instead of meat, Orts shows gallons of ice cream.
She is no stranger to ice cream.
“I work during the summer at Rich’s Farm (ice cream shop) in Oxford,” she said.
Her mother heard about the contest in an email and suggested she give it a try, knowing of her interest in art. “I may study architecture in college,” she said.
Turkey Hill Dairy producers the fourth largest-selling premium ice cream brand and the top-selling refrigerated iced tea brand in the U.S., according to the company.
The family business has been going for three generations.
