We’ve greatly enjoyed our monthly contests for our jingkids readers – from October’s Scary Stories Writing Competition to November’s Most Memorable Meals Photo Contest, and now we’re proud to present December’s Drawing Contest, with the classic theme: All I Want For Christmas.

We welcome submissions from all young readers below 18. While multiple submissions are permitted per entrant and may be published on our Official WeChat blog, jingkids reserves the right to pick only one entry per person for the final vote. Drawings will be selected based on their creativity and ability to fit the theme, but the winner will be chosen by a voting process before Christmas.

Get creative! Pick up a pencil, crayon or paintbrush and let your Christmas hopes and wishes come to life on paper (or canvas, your choice!). The sky’s the limit.

Entrants can send in photographs of their drawings and accompanying captions to webeditor@beijing-kids.com with their details (first and last name, age or grade, and email address/mobile number) from now until Dec 23.

The winner of December’s “All I Want For Christmas” Drawing Contest will receive beloved Beijing illustrator and artist Liuba Vladimirova’s latest creation, an unconventional illustrated guidebook full of paintings, personal stories and anecdotes, all of which tell a visual story of Liuba’s experiences and life here in the capital. The hardcover book, valued at RMB 198, is a great souvenir and gift for family and friends this festive season.

Let’s welcome some creative Christmas spirit and draw away!
