Announcing the 3rd Annual Christmas Card Design Contest Sponsored by NBT Bank

WHY: To fulfill its mission to promote Christmas Spirit, the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation will print the winning Christmas cards in the future to share visions of what Christmas Spirit means to people.

WHAT: Design a one-sided Christmas card that depicts what “Christmas Spirit” means to you. The design should fit on 6-inch x 4-inch frame (vertical or horizontal). The design can include any of the following: original artwork, photography, graphics, text. If any copyrighted material is used (images, art, text) an authorization to use the material from the copyright holder must be included with submission.

One entry per person. All entries will be individually scored by three unrelated judges chosen by CSF. Judges will score entries on a scale of 1-100 on how well the card shows the meaning of “Christmas Spirit.”

CASH PRIZES will be awarded for three (3) age categories:
1st place = $300
2nd place = $200
3rd place = $100
