Holiday Contest 2011

Remember lying in bed as a child with anticipation of Santa's arrival? With your excitment reaching a fever pitch it seemed nearly impossible to fall asleep. After hours of stirring in your bed you finally drift away and dream of what awaits under your tree. You flashback to the past year - 'Have I been naughty or nice? Did the bearded man in red listen to what I had asked for?

As we get older, the Holiday may take on a different meaning but it's still easy for us all to reach down in our spirits and once again dream like a child.

What does the Holiday Dream look like to you? We'd like to see your Dream interpreted through art.

The year's theme: Holiday Dreams
