Your child can bring out their inner artist by entering this year's
Holiday Card Contest sponsored by St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay's office. Children ages 12 and under are invited to participate, and the winning entry will be used as the cover art of the Mayor's 2011 holiday cards.
All submissions should capture the feeling of the holiday spirit in St. Louis and be appropriate for all religions. Kids can use crayon, watercolors, paints, pencil ink, markers or colored pencils to create their masterpieces. The top 10 finalists, their families and teachers will be invited to attend a special ceremony at the Mayor’s Office. Plus, the winning designs will be displayed at City Hall during the holiday season.
Here are a few details you’ll need to know. Designs should be no larger than 8.5 by 11 inches. Submissions must be received by Wednesday, Nov. 30. Entrants should include their name, address, phone number, school, grade and age with their artwork. Entries are not returnable.
