The holiday season is rapidly approaching, and with it comes the annual debate – and celebration – of the true meaning of Christmas. For many, this means focusing on the birth of Jesus Christ and the spiritual significance of the holiday. This year, let's reignite that focus with the Keep Christ in Christmas Poster Contest 2024!
This contest invites artists of all ages and skill levels to express their understanding and appreciation for the religious heart of Christmas through the visual medium of poster design. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a budding artist just beginning your journey, your unique perspective is valued and welcomed.
What Makes a Winning Entry?
A winning poster design for the Keep Christ in Christmas contest will effectively communicate the central message of Christmas: the birth of Jesus Christ and his significance in Christian faith. Consider incorporating elements that evoke:
- The Nativity Scene: Depict the classic imagery of the stable, Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, the shepherds, and the wise men. This allows for both traditional and modern artistic interpretations.
- Biblical Verses: Incorporate relevant verses from the Bible, such as Luke 2:1-20, which recounts the birth of Jesus. Consider using calligraphy or a visually striking font to draw attention to the text.
- Symbols of Hope and Peace: Use symbols that represent the hope and peace Christ brought to the world, such as doves, stars, or lambs.
- Emotional Impact: The most compelling entries will evoke a sense of wonder, reverence, and joy, reflecting the spiritual significance of Christmas.

- Creativity and Originality: The design should be unique and imaginative, demonstrating a personal artistic style.
- Clarity of Message: The poster must clearly communicate the central theme of keeping Christ in Christmas.
