Calling all young artists! The Knights of Columbus invite children to participate in the "Keep Christ in Christmas" Poster Contest. This is a wonderful opportunity for kids to express the true meaning of Christmas through art. Guidelines:
Theme: Posters should reflect the theme "Keep Christ in Christmas" (the words are optional but the theme should be clear).
Originality: Each poster must be the original work of a single person.
Size: Posters should be approximately 11x17 inches, in either black & white or color.
Entry Form: Each poster must be submitted with a Knights of Columbus Poster Contest Entry Form. The form includes important contact information and a parent or guardian’s signature.
Identification: The artist's name and age (or grade and school/program) should be written on the back of the poster to ensure blind judging. Any identifying details on the front will need to be covered.

Ages 5-7 (Grades K-2)
Ages 8-10 (Grades 3-5)
Ages 11-14 (Grades 6-8)

Submission Deadline: All entries are due by Sunday, December 15th. Arrangements will be made for collecting posters from the parish office.
Judging: Judging will take place at Holy Family Parish’s Hall, with a blind judging process by a panel of 7 judges. We welcome Knights, parents, teachers, clergy, and even college students to participate as judges. (Parents of contestants may not judge in categories where their children have entered.)
