The Knights of Columbus offers multiple activities that promote Christmas and the season of Advent in their proper context: Journey to the Inn, Light Up for Christ, Crèche or Advent Wreath Blessing, and the Christmas Poster Contest. These activities are centered on the example of the Holy Family and the Nativity of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
The Poster Contest
Christmas has become a secular holiday for many, especially children. To combat this, the Knights of Columbus has introduced the Keep Christ in Christmas poster contest. This program allows youth to use their creativity and imagination while understanding the true spiritual meaning of Christmas.
Entries in the Knights of Columbus Keep Christ in Christmas Poster Contest must include a slogan reflecting the topic and an original visual image.
The contest is open to all youth in Kindergarten through 8th grade. Contest entrants compete in one of the grade categories: Kindergarten, 1st through 2nd, 3rd through 4th, 5th through 6th, 7th through 8th. Each local, district, regional, or jurisdictional competition may have up to 3 winning entries: a first-, second-, and third-place winner in each grade category.
