The contest will be conducted locally with winning entries advancing through district/regional and state competitions to the international level. The winning entries will serve as the basis for a series of international “Keep Christ in Christmas” posters, with creative credit going to the artists. A $50 cash prize will be awarded to the winner at each level of the local competition. If you are interested in participating, please pick up a registration form at the Parish Office. When submitting your poster, please make sure it is accompanied with the registration form and have them stapled together. Your entry must be submitted at the Parish Office by 4:00pm on Friday December 15th, 2017. The winners will be announced the following week.
