NFEC Christmas Card Contest winners announced

Just like Santa and all the elves, you all delivered!  We received nearly 50 submissions of colorful holiday designs for NFEC’s first-annual Christmas Card Contest and we were amazed!

Selecting the winners wasn’t an easy process; the creativity and talent in classrooms in our service area is inspiring.  Thank you to all the parents and teachers who encouraged their students to apply.  We can’t wait to see next year’s entries!

The contest is divided into three age divisions and, as promised, we have three grand prize winners and three runners-up.  The 2020 winners are as follows:

Ages 8 & Under

Grand prize: Emma Heinsohn, from Erick Elementary School,

Runner-up: Ethan Coker, from Erick Elementary School,

Ages 9-13

Grand Prize: Tanner Dye, from Sayre Middle School,

Runner-up: Tristan Barnes, from Sayre Middle School,

Ages 14-17

Grand prize: Erin Pruitt, from Sayre Middle School, and

Runner-up: Colten Vidaurri, from Sayre Middle School.

The overall winning design that will be featured on the 2020 NFEC Christmas card was submitted by 13-year-old Tanner Dye who attends Sayre Middle School.

The grand prize winners each received a $100 Visa gift card and the runners-up each received a $50 Visa gift card.  These designs are sure to bring holiday cheer to our members, colleagues and partners nationwide!

NFEC’s Christmas Card Contest is an opportunity for students in our service area to showcase their creativity and to recognize the importance of arts in education.  The contest is open to students up to 17 years old, either homeschooled or attending school within NFEC’s service area.  All entries must be hand drawn and follow the theme of combining electricity or line workers with a Christmas or holiday component.  Only original artwork is accepted.

The deadline for entries in the 2021 Christmas Card contest is January 29, 2021 at 5 p.m.

Additional NFEC Christmas Card Contest winners include Tanner Dye, Erin Pruitt, and Colten Vidaurri, all from Sayre. Tristan Barnes, also from Sayre, is not pictured.
