Mayor Burton is holding his first-ever student holiday card contest for children in Grade 1 – 8. Students will have the chance to enter their original artwork for a chance to be featured on the Mayor of Oakville’s holiday card. Two winning submissions will be chosen – one from the Grade 1- 5 level and one from the Grade 6 – 8 level.
“This contest is a great way to capture the vibrancy of how Oakville celebrates the holiday season through the eyes of youth,” said Mayor Rob Burton. “The winners will have their artwork featured on a holiday card that is distributed to over 1,500 people in and around the Oakville area.”
Students are being asked to draw a local holiday scene or event that represents Oakville. Original entries must be submitted in the form of a drawing, sketch or painting and meet the following requirements:
- Minimum size: 4” x 6”
- Maximum size: 8.5” x 11”
- Acceptable materials include paper or canvas
