UAF alumna Hannah Foss won the grand prize in a Kung Fu Panda-themed design contest created by China-based Hainan Airlines.

Her design will be painted on the company's Boeing 787 Dreamliner. It is now featured on the Hainan Airlines website and on the company's Facebook page.

"Kung Fu Panda" is a computer-animated film produced in 2008 by DreamWorks.

Foss graduated from UAF in 2013 with a bachelor's degree in computer art. She works as a digital artist and computer-generated imagery animator at the UAF Geophysical Institute.
