Sharpen those pencil crayons! The town of Oakville is again hosting their annual colouring contest for the 2024 Santa Claus parade.
Oakville town staff say the winner of the contest will win the title of Honorary Grand Marshall for this year's parade next Saturday, November 16, 2024.
To enter, artists will need to colour a sheet that is provided online here, or you can pick one up at any of your local Oakville Libraries. This year's design is by local artist and Oakville News cartoonist Steve Nease.
Applicants must be between the ages of 5-10 years old.
Those who are younger than five years old may apply to the contest if they wish, but will not be eligible to win the grand prize because they are too young to ride in a parade float.
The submission deadline will be this Friday, Nov. 8, 2024. The contest will also not be open to the children or relatives of town of Oakville employees or Oakville Santa Claus Parade Committee staff.
To submit the paper, you can scan the drawing, or take a picture as either a jpeg, png or pdf file and sent it to [email protected]
