Every year, the Charter Institute at Erskine hosts a Holiday Card Design Competition. Students submit artwork, and the winning design is distributed to stakeholders across South Carolina as the Institute’s official Holiday Card. All students in grades K-12 are welcome to participate.

Guidelines:

  1. All designs need to be submitted digitally using the form or via email to kgraybill@erskinecharters.org. 
  2. A PNG, JPG, or PDF file is preferred. If emailing, please include the name of the artist, their school, and their grade level in the message.
  3. All designs need to fit on a 5×7 card. Students can submit scanned-in, hand-drawn, photographed, OR digitally created artwork using the template attached to make sure their artwork fits the dimensions. Designs can be vertical or horizontal.
  4. All submitted artworks may be featured on social media or the Institute website with the artist’s name and school highlighted. Please email kgraybill@erskinecharters.org if the artist’s name, photo, and artwork should not appear online or if the student does not have a media release.
  5. The deadline to submit artwork is Monday, December 1.

Suggested Design Elements:

(These are not requirements, just ideas to inspire your creativity!)

  1. Showcase our school communities. Consider including students, teachers, families, and schools from across South Carolina, and don’t forget our virtual schools!
  2. Highlight School Choice. How does it empower students and drive the Institute’s mission?
  3. Don’t forget fun holiday elements and colors!
  4. Remember the Institute’s slogan, “Move the Needle!”

The Charter Institute at Erskine’s staff will decide on a winning design and contact the winner and their school. We look forward to receiving your submissions!
