Winter Card Contest Call for Entries

East Maine District 63 invites all PreK-8th grade students to submit entries for the 2024 Winter Card Design Contest.
Completed artwork & signed parent/guardian release form must be submitted by Friday, November 1 to the school office. 

Entries - created at home - will be judged by a panel of school and District administrators and the winner’s design will appear on the official D63 winter card, website, and social media sites.

Winner will attend the December 5 Board of Education meeting - and all Best in Show winners will be recognized at that time. All entries will be displayed at the Niles-Maine District Library in December.  

Contest Rules

  • All artwork should be created outside of regular school hours.

  • Artwork must be submitted on a flat, plain white sheet of 8.5”x11” paper. There is no need to design a complete card -- just the artwork that would appear on the front.

  • Art must be hand-drawn and camera-ready.

  • Design can be vertical or horizontal and should reflect a non-religious winter theme (cardinals, birds, trees, nature, mittens, snowflakes, snowmen, etc.)

  • Acceptable materials: colored or graphite pencils, markers, crayons, watercolors, and paint.

  • The design must be usable in small (2 sq. in.) and large (up to 11 x 17 in.) formats.

  • Artwork can be in color, but should also be reproducible in a single color.

  • Place artwork and a completed parent/guardian release form in an envelope labeled “School District 63 Winter Card Contest.” Student name, school, and grade must be on the reverse side of the submission.
