"Favorite Winter Holidays,"
2003 Children's Winter Art Contest

"Merry Christmas to all of you,
from Santa around the world"
(5" x 7" Christmas Card)

by Amber, age 7 from Provo, Utah.

 

"Favorite Winter Holidays," was the theme of our most recent contest!

Young artists had the opportunity to draw a picture of their favorite winter holiday or favorite winter activity during the holiday season. We at Thornton Gallery wanted to see their imaginative and best art work. The Judges looked at how well they expressed their winter holiday theme, their technical skills for their age division, and the overall artistic quality of their work. Winners received a cash prize mailed to them.

Division I was for children ages 5 to 8.

Division II was for children ages 9 to 12.

Rules...
Artwork was to be the original hand drawn creation of the contestant. A variety of coloring and drawing media were used (see below for more details). The back of the artwork needed to have the contestant's full name, age, mailing address and phone number (or email address).
