Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna
invites elementary students across Idaho to
participate in the annual Holiday Card Contest.
“The annual Holiday Card Contest is an
opportunity for Idaho students to showcase their
artwork and for the state to recognize the
importance of arts in education,” Superintendent
Luna said.
The contest is open to all public school
students in grades K-6. One drawing will be
selected to be published on the State Department
of Education’s Web site at
www.sde.idaho.gov and used as the
Department’s holiday greeting card. The child
who submits the selected artwork will receive
cards for his or her own use. The Department
also awards grade-level winners.
Here are the guidelines for the 2013 Holiday
Card Contest:
The contest is open to public school students in
grades K-6.
Drawings should reflect holiday or winter scenes
in Idaho appropriate for seasonal
correspondence, and should not include
copyrighted images such as Garfield the Cat,
Bugs Bunny, Digimon characters, etc.
Drawings should be on 8.5” by 11” paper in a
landscape format.
Drawings must be properly labeled. Write the
name of the student, the student’s grade,
district, school, and the teacher’s name on the
back of the artwork. Please make sure this
information is legible. (If you submit multiple
grade levels, please keep the entries for each
grade level separate.)
Students may use as many colors as they wish in
their drawings and may use watercolors, colored
paper, magic markers, crayons, or some
combination. Students are encouraged to
completely fill the page, but keep the design
simple. Too many details tend to get lost in the
design. Bold colors work best for the printing
process. Please note: Fabric designs and pencil
drawings are not suitable to our printing
process and will not be selected.
Students must be advised that entry into this
contest constitutes (1) a waiver of all
copyrights students have in their entries, and
(2) permission to republish entries without
compensation.
Drawings will not be returned.
The winning entries from each grade level will
be published on the Idaho State Department of
Education Web site at
www.sde.idaho.gov.
Submissions must be postmarked by Friday,
November 15, 2013. Results will be announced in
December. Drawings may be mailed to: State
Department of Education. Attn: Portia Flynn,
P.O. Box 83720, Boise, ID 83720-0027. |
