It may be Spooky Season, but the City of Elizabethtown is also inviting area elementary students to help the city spread holiday cheer.
The city’s Christmas in the Park Committee is once again sponsoring the Christmas in the Park Poster Contest, which is open to children in grades kindergarten through fifth.
Participants will make a poster displaying their favorite holiday scene using their own artwork on a 22 inch by 28 inch poster board. Children are encouraged to make their displays bright and colorful, and note that glitter is not permitted. Any entry that includes glitter will be disqualified.
One winner will be selected for each grade level. Each winner will receive a $50 gift card and will be invited with their parents to be recognized at an Elizabethtown City Council meeting. The winning artwork will be displayed at sponsoring banks during the holiday season.
Posters must be dropped off with a completed registration form at Elizabethtown City Hall by 4 p.m. on Friday, November 1. Find the registration form, and more information on the contest, at etownevents.com.
