Abbotsford – The City of Abbotsford is once again inviting elementary school students to help spread Christmas cheer by taking part in the sixth annual Mayor’s Christmas Card Contest.
Young artists in kindergarten through grade five are encouraged to submit a festive, joyful drawing that illustrates Abbotsford’s holiday traditions or shows what the season means to them. One winning design will be selected by Mayor Siemens to appear on the official 2025 Mayor’s Christmas card, which is sent electronically by Mayor and City Council across Abbotsford and throughout the province.
“Seeing the creativity of Abbotsford children and their excitement for Christmas, is one of my favourite ways to get into the holiday spirit,” said Ross Siemens, Mayor of Abbotsford. “Whether it’s snowmen, colourful lights, cozy family moments or Santa and his reindeer, every year I’m impressed with the imagination and joy that our students share. I’m looking forward to seeing this year’s entries and sharing them with the community.”
The winning artist will receive a special prize package in addition to having their design featured on the Mayor’s official Christmas card and each participant will receive a signed Christmas card from Mayor Siemens. To participate in the contest, students must email a pdf of their artwork, as well as their name, grade, school and teacher’s name, to mayorsoffice@abbotsford.ca no later than November 27.
