Municipality of the County of Kings
We need your help, Kings County! Who better to help us spread holiday cheer than the people living right here? Artists ages 3 to 14 can send us an original drawing for a chance to see it on the front of the Municipality’s holiday cards for December 2026.
This contest is for young artists living in Kings County. One winner will be chosen in each age group.
The Municipality of the County of Kings loves to celebrate diversity and inclusion! Show us what being in Kings County during the December holidays (Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, for example) means to you. These questions might help you get started on your drawing:
