2026 Christmas Card Art Contest winners
Since Rudolph’s nose was so bright, could it have been powered by Wiregrass Electric Cooperative?
It’s an unlikely scenario, of course, given the North Pole’s distance from the WEC service territory, but a depiction of the beloved reindeer stood out enough to be selected as the winning entry in the 2026 Christmas Card Art Contest.
1st – Kameron Myers
Fifth grade student at Rehobeth Elementary School.
The first-place winner in this year’s contest is Kameron Myers, a fifth grader at Rehobeth Elementary School. Kameron’s art featured a smiling Rudolph with light glaring off his bright-red nose and Christmas lights tangled in his antlers. A simple holiday message was included: “Have a Bright and Merry Christmas from Wiregrass Electric Cooperative!”
For submitting the winning entry, Kameron’s art will be featured on the front of WEC’s annual holiday card. Kameron will receive 30 printed cards featuring his artwork along with full credit and a $75 gift card to Michaels craft supply store.
2nd – Lillian Gilmore
Third-grade student at Wicksburg Elementary School.
Second place this year went to Lillian Gilmore, a third-grade student at Wicksburg Elementary School. Lillian received a $50 Michaels gift card for her entry featuring a home decorated for the holidays, complete with an angel in the yard and the message “Making Your Holidays Merry and Bright!”
3rd – Kyla McGinnis
Fifth-grade student at Webb Elementary School
Third-place winner Kyla McGinnis, a fifth-grade student at Webb Elementary School, drew a Christmas-themed snow globe, a string of Christmas lights plugged safely into a wall outlet and the tagline “Christmas Can Shine Bright With WEC!” Kyla’s prize was a $25 gift card to Michaels.
The contest was open to children in kindergarten through fifth grade. In addition to the top three entries, one winner from each school represented received a $20 gift card, and every student who entered the contest received a gift from WEC.
“This art contest is not only fun, but it really brightens the holidays for the cooperative,” says WEC Manager of Communications and Public Relations Jennifer Ward. “It’s a joy to see the imagination of local students each year, and Wiregrass Electric loves featuring a young artist’s creation on our annual Christmas card.”
