Here are the official rules for entry:

1. Produce an original artwork that captures the essence of the Christmas season. Your creation should not replicate or draw inspiration from any copyrighted material. It must be two-dimensional and suitable for photography or scanning (i.e., avoid 3D elements or bulky additions like cotton balls or jingle bells). Feel free to depict any facet of Christmas using text or artistic elements such as collages, paints, or acrylics. Pencil drawings should be outlined in black.

2. This contest is open to HopeKids, siblings, and parents.

3. Submit a photo of your HopeKid and your family. If selected, the image(s) may also be featured on the website, the back of the Christmas card, and in letters to donors.
