St. Louis -- The winner and finalists of Mayor Francis Slay's annual Holiday Card Design Contest were honored today at a reception in City Hall in the Mayor's Office. Fifth-grade student Issac Bierman from Woerner Elementary School submitted the winning design, which will be used as Mayor and Mrs. Slay's 2016 holiday e-cards.

"One of my favorite holiday traditions is going through the design entries, and every year, it's very difficult to narrow down the entries to the top 10," Mayor Slay said. "Mrs. Slay and I thank all of the students who submitted an entry to my annual Holiday Card Design Contest. We are proud to use Issac's design and showcase his unique artwork of a cardinal for our 2016 holiday greetings."

Mayor Slay presented each student will a certificate of achievement and Angel Baked cookies, and Bissinger's Handcrafted Chocolate provided a complimentary gift for each of the finalists.
