Mayor Francis G. Slay is proud to invite City children ages 12 and under to participate in the 2012 Mayor's Holiday Card Contest.  The contest's winning entry will be used as the cover art of the Mayor's 2012 holiday cards.

Submissions should be appropriate for all religions.  Individuals should capture the feeling of the holiday spirit in St. Louis.  Designs should be original, no larger than 8.5" x 11" and created with crayon, water colors, paints, pencil ink, markers, or colored pencil so the winning drawing can be easily reproduced.

Artwork must be received in the Mayor's Office no later than Wednesday, November 28, 2012, for consideration in the contest.  Entrants should include their name, address, phone number, school, grade, and age.  

The top ten finalists and their families and teachers will be invited to attend a special ceremony in the Mayor's Office.

The selected design will be reproduced and used as the cover of the Mayor's holiday card.  Top entries will be on display in City Hall during the holiday season.

Send entries to:

Mayor Francis G. Slay, Holiday Card Contest, Room 200, City Hall, 1200 Market Street, St. Louis, MO  63103.
