Overview
Conducting a Knights of Columbus Keep Christ in
Christmas Poster Contest is a fun and easy way to put
your faith into action and get youth in your community
involved in their faith. It is fun to conduct because of the
opportunity to witness the creativity and optimism of the
youth in your community. It is easy because you can tap
into existing structures like schools and do a lot of
preliminary work. It can also provide excellent local, and
potentially international, publicity for your council.
The first step is to organize your contest. The councils, in
consultation with the grand knight, should select a team
that will administer the contest. This team will be involved
in all phases of the contest: organization, publicity,
judging, prizes, etc. The council should be “ready to go”
right before the Christmas season by ordering kits no
later than October 31. A suggested time frame would be
for the students to complete work on their posters by
December 1, with judging at the local level in place by
December 31. District judging should be completed by
January 15 with regional and jurisdictional judging
completed by January 31. Entries for the international
level of competition must be received at the Supreme
Council office by February 28. International winners will
be announced in March.
