The New Westminster Record needs some artistic children to help decorate our front page and website this Christmas.
We’re holding a contest in which your child’s awesome Christmas artwork could be featured on the front page of our newspaper for a special edition – as well as on other pages and our website. There will also be some prizes of gift cards for the top three we choose - $50 for first and $25 for second and third.
All we need now are some submissions.
The contest is open to children who are Kindergarten to Grade 3 age. Just sit them down and ask them to design a special Christmas card with drawings and a message about Christmas, their family, Santa – whatever speaks to them from the heart. If your child doesn’t celebrate Christmas, then they can write about their family, their traditions, or something important to them.
Local teachers are welcome to do this as a classroom project.
All we ask is that you follow some simple instructions.
- The art must be designed on plain white paper no bigger than 8.5X11 inches (we need it letter-sized so it’s scannable for both print and online).
- The young artists can use any type of colour in crayons, felt, pencil, pen or paint.
- Please ensure that included with your child’s submission are their full name, age, grade, plus a contact phone number and/or email address.
The entries must be submitted by Friday, Dec. 14, 2018. They can be dropped off at our office, #201A-3430 Brighton Ave., Burnaby, B.C., V5A 3H4. Or, even better for the environment, you can submit a good quality, high-resolution photo via email to Editor Chris Campbell [email protected] with the subject line “Christmas card contest.”
