Greeting Card Contest

• Madeira City School District students are invited to enter one piece of original color artwork in the district’s annual holiday greeting card contest. Four winners will be chosen; one each from Madeira Preschool, Madeira Elementary School, Madeira Middle School, and Madeira High School. An assortment of cards to be sent out by the school board will be printed using each of the winning entries. Winners will be recognized at the December school board meeting and will receive a set of cards featuring their artwork. 

• The contest is limited to current Madeira City School District students only. It is strictly voluntary and there is only one entry per student. Students who would like to enter should create a card cover that must include the words “Happy Holidays from Madeira City Schools” or “Holiday Greetings from Madeira City Schools.” The art work must depict the student’s interpretation of looking through a window - either outside looking in, or inside looking out. Students’ names will be printed on the back of the winning card and should not be included in the design.   

• Artwork will be 4.25” x 5.5” (horizontal or vertical) when printed. Square designs will have added white space when printed.

• Cards selected will best reflect the theme and our community, which celebrates a variety of holidays and not one specific holiday. Cards may also be designed using a winter theme.
• All entries are due by 4 PM Friday, November 6, 2026.
