WEC’s Christmas card contest accepting entries

Holiday art

Wiregrass Electric Cooperative invites local children to get creative with their holiday spirit for a chance to have their artwork on the cooperative’s 2026 Christmas card.

Entries are now being accepted from young artists who want to take part in our annual Christmas Card Art Contest. Children from kindergarten through fifth grade are welcome to enter for a chance to win fantastic prizes — including having their artwork featured in the December edition of Alabama Living magazine.

The grand prize winner will receive 30 printed cards showcasing their artwork, perfect for sharing with family and friends. Additionally, the winner will receive a $75 gift card to Michaels craft supply store to further inspire creativity. The winning design will be displayed on the co-op’s Christmas card as well as the cover of the December issue of Alabama Living, with full credit to the young artist.

The second-place winner will receive a $50 Michaels gift card and the third-place winner will receive a $25 Michaels gift card. Furthermore, one winner from each school will receive a $20 gift card. Every student who enters the contest will receive a gift from WEC.

Make sure to read the contest rules before getting started on your design!
