Holiday Card Contest
Welcome to the homepage of The VLA's annual Holiday Card Contest.
The VLA strongly believes that every student has the potential to create powerful and original expressions through art, and that the arts play an integral part in every student’s secondary education. To this end, the VLA developed its Holiday Card Contest to support young artists in the Boston Public Schools and to provide an opportunity for educators to encourage students to explore their artistic sides.
The VLA would like to thank The Brown Rudnick Center for the Public Interest and The Brown Rudnick Charitable Foundation for their generous contribution and support for the Holiday Card Contest. The VLA would also like to thank the Boston Public Schools for their support in making this contest possible.
If you would like to order a card and you're a parent or a teacher, the order form can be downloaded here. If you're neither a parent nor a teacher, please use the order form found here.
