You can use any artistic medium you like – draw, paint, craft, digital design – just keep in mind that it’s going to need to look good when scanned or captured by photo and re-printed. And of course, all designs must be your own original artwork.

It is also worth noting that the Christian meaning for Christmas is very important for Vinnies members, so designs that are reflective of this are likely to be preferred, but all designs will be considered!

This competition is open to all school students. There will be five winners, one for each of the five St Vincent de Paul Society NSW regions (based on the Catholic Diocese): North-East – Lismore and Maitland Newcastle Diocese, North-West – Armidale and Bathurst Diocese, Metro – Sydney, Parramatta and Broken Bay Diocese, West – Wilcannia Forbes Diocese and South – Wollongong and Wagga Wagga Diocese.

This competition is free to enter. The closing date for entries is Monday 5 December 2022. 

The winners will be announced on this website before the end of Term 4.
