ABBOTSFORD — The City of Abbotsford says it is welcoming artistic submissions from kids and youth alike in the 5th annual Mayor’s Christmas Card contest.
Children in kindergarten through grade five are encouraged to create a bright and festive drawing embodying the spirit of the Christmas holiday season and submit it for entry into the contest. From the submissions, Mayor Ross Siemens will choose one picture for the cover of the official 2024 Christmas card, which is sent out electronically by Mayor and City Council across Abbotsford and throughout the province.
“It’s always so heartwarming to see the creative and joyful ways children in Abbotsford express their excitement for Christmas,” said Siemens. “Each year, young students bring boundless creativity and holiday spirit to this contest. My wife Kelly and I look forward to going through each one and sharing the winning artwork with the community.”
Last year, 380 entries were submitted from 23 schools across the city, each one showcasing the creativity and imaginative talent of Abbotsford’s young artists.
