Holiday Ornament Contest Open to Local Artists

Temecula, CA— Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley is currently accepting artwork for their 2013 Holiday Ornament Contest. Artists among the Inland Valley are invited to submit their best work for the chance to have their art and name displayed on the commemorative ornament and on the organization’s annual holiday card.

Contestants can mail or hand-deliver their submission to the Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley headquarters located at 41615 Winchester Road, Suite 214, Temecula 92591. The winning art piece will be featured on the Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley holiday ornament. The runner up will be chosen to design the Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley holiday card. All entries must be submitted by Friday, September 27, 2013 on a 6” x 6” canvas or smaller. Artwork not chosen for the grand and runner up prizes will be displayed on Christmas Tree Lane at Promenade Temecula from November 4 through December 15.

The theme for this year’s contest is ‘Home for the Holidays,’ which ties in Habitat’s mission to improve living conditions for families in the Inland Valley,” states Director of Resource Development Elizabeth Hamerschlag. “Our mission is to provide decent shelter for everyone in our community. The holidays tend to remind us that home truly is where the heart is and we want everyone to experience that feeling of pride and safety. We encourage artists to be as creative as possible while considering our overall mission.”
