Warwick Advertiser Wrapping Paper Contest is Back
Kids are invited to draw their own wrapping paper designs, and drop them off at a participating merchant between now and Dec. 1. The winning design will be printed as wrapping paper in Warwick Advertiser’s Dec. 20 edition.
Warwick Advertiser’s annual wrapping paper contest is underway. Kids of all ages are invited to draw their own wrapping paper design and submit their work to a participating retailer before Dec. 5.
After all entries are submitted, a panel of judges will pick semi-finalist designs, which will be printed in the newspaper. Then, Warwick Advertiser readers will vote for their favorites online at warwickadvertiser.com from Dec. 7 and Dec 12.
The winning design will be printed across multiple pages in Warwick Advertiser’s Dec. 20 edition to be used by thousands of local residents as giftwrap this holiday season.
How to Enter the Contest:
-
A past Wrapping Paper Contest entry by an 11 year old artist, Esme. -
Another former entry from six-year-old artist Grace. -
An entry from a former Wrapping Paper Contest featuring ornaments, snowmen, stars, Christmas trees, and Santa hats and milk. -
Another past Wrapping Paper Contest entry.
All drawings must be created on a white 8.5’’x11’’ piece of paper. Bold, bright colors and repetitive patterns work best.
The deadline is Dec. 1, but submitting entries early is highly recommended.
Artists should use markers, paint, crayons or colored pencils. Designs need to be drawn by hand, and cannot incorporate computer illustrations, commercial characters, or store-bought stamps (though kids are welcome to create their own stamps from erasers or potatoes).
Parents should be sure to include their child’s name, age, school and parent’s cell phone number (for notifying the winner) on the back of the drawing.
