Rockford Sun

The holiday season is fast approaching, and Mayor Tom McNamara needs your help! Each year, the Mayor sends out holiday cards to companies and organizations that help our community move forward. Once again, he’d like to use a card designed by a Rockford elementary or middle school student.

Here are the guidelines:

• Design should be secular or appropriate for all religions and should help capture the feeling of the holiday spirit in Rockford.

• Artwork must be original and no larger than 8.5” x 11”.

• Design should be created with crayon, water colors, paints, pencil, ink, markers, or colored pencil, so that the winning art can be easily reproduced.

The winner will receive:

• Design/name on the holiday card and 10 copies of the card

• A $25 gift card to Lino's

• A $25 gift card to Rockford Art Deli

Submit your original design by mail to:

City of Rockford Mayor’s Office

425 East State Street

Rockford, IL 61104

Entrants should include their name, address, phone number,

school, grade and age.

Artwork must be received in the Mayor’s Office no later

than November 6, 2023, for consideration.
