Region 15 Schools is excited to announce its first-ever winter-themed Greeting Card Design Contest, inviting all students in grades K–12 to celebrate the season through art.

This new initiative, titled “Tell Your Story Through Art,” gives students a chance to showcase their creativity while reflecting on what it means to be part of the Region 15 community. The theme encourages artists to show how kindness, creativity, and teamwork make our schools stronger and to think about our Portrait of a Learner traits—being curious, creative, kind, and great teammates and communicators.

Selected student designs will be featured on Region 15’s greeting card and shared with the community this winter.

Contest Details

• Entries Due: December 3, 2025
• Who Can Enter: All Region 15 students in grades K–12
• Recognition: Winning designs will appear on the official Region 15 Greeting Card

Image Guidelines

Students are encouraged to depict scenes of togetherness, friendship, and teamwork, or capture moments of learning and creativity in Region 15 schools. Seasonal imagery such as snowflakes, cardinals, evergreen trees, stars, mittens, or cocoa is welcome.

To ensure the card reflects the inclusive spirit of Region 15, students are asked to focus on general winter themes rather than specific cultural, branded, or holiday-specific imagery or messages.

Technical Notes

• Artwork may be hand-drawn or digital
• Horizontal (landscape) layout preferred
• Use bold colors and clear lines that reproduce well
• Include name, grade, and school in the submission form

“This contest is a fun new way for students to share their creativity and celebrate what makes Region 15 such a caring, connected community,” said Jeromy Nelson, Director of Fine, Applied, and Technical Arts. “We’re excited to see how students capture kindness, imagination, and teamwork through their artwork.”
