(BOISE) – Idaho students in kindergarten through sixth grade are invited to get into the holiday spirit and put their best work on display with the Idaho State Department of Education’s 2022 Holiday Card Contest.

A winning entry from each grade level will be selected for publication on the State Department of Education website. From these entries, one overall winner will be selected for use on the department’s official holiday card. The winning artist will also receive cards for their own personal use.

“I can’t overstate how much fun this contest is for our amazing, creative Idaho artists and for myself and my colleagues at the SDE,” Superintendent of Public Instruction Sherri Ybarra said. “It’s such a privilege looking through these entries, and I’m sure it’s going to be difficult again this year to choose winners from so many incredibly talented artists.”

All Idaho public school students in grades K-6 are encouraged to submit their work. See last year’s

winners and review guidelines for this year’s contest at https://www.sde.idaho.gov/events/card-contest/.

Artwork must be submitted or postmarked by Friday, November 11. Digital submissions are permitted, but the original artwork must be hand drawn. The form for digital submissions can be found here. Mail entries should be sent to Idaho State Department of Education, Holiday Card Contest, attn. Taylor Baggerly, P.O. Box 83720, Boise 83720-0027.

Drawings should measure 11” x 8.5” in landscape format and should reflect holiday or winter scenes. They cannot include copyrighted images such as Garfield the Cat, Bugs Bunny or Disney characters. Drawings should be labeled on the back with the student’s name, grade, school, district and teacher’s name.

Students can create their entries using watercolors, colored paper, markers, crayons or a combination thereof and can use as many colors as they want. They are encouraged to completely fill the page and to keep the design simple and the colors bold. Pencil drawings and fabric designs are not suitable for our printing process and cannot be selected.
