Keep Christ in Christmas Poster Contest!

Our local Knights of Columbus Council #4678 is hosting a poster contest to Keep Christ in Christmas!  The goal of this program is to increase the awareness of our young people's faith, while encouraging them to speak to other youth "in their own language" about the true meaning of Christmas.  Here is information about the contest. 

• There are five categories that will be judged this year: K, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 grades.

• The posters are to be 11x17 inches long and reflect the theme: Keep Christ in Christmas

• There is no fee to enter, but participants must purchase their own materials; paint, ink, markers, crayons, colored pencils (pastels, chalk or charcoal must be laminated or covered with a clear plastic for submission.)

• There is a Winner and Runner-Up in each age category.  Past prizes have included gift cards to: 

  • Sweet Frog

  • The Creamery

  • Get Air

  • What a Blast Lazer Tag

• ALL artwork must be done BY THE PARTICIPANT, although parents can help with ideas.

• Affix the entry form (can be found on our website: https://re.ourladyofvictory.com/home) to your submission and drop it off at:

  • the OLVCS Office

  • the OLV Church Office 

• All entries must be submitted no later than THURSDAY; December 12th at 3:00pm or Sunday Dec. 8th to a CCD teacher during class.

• Although the entry form says "Posters will not be returned". Posters may be returned to participants.  Regardless, please take a photo of them before submitting.  Thank you!
