Our first annual Christmas Design Contest has been a great success so far! The entry deadline is now history and we're thrilled to announce that we received some terrific Christmas card submissions! We've narrowed down the entry pool to the Top 10 designs and now we'll leave it to the fans and our judges to vote for the winners.
Take a peek at the Top 10 designs here (in no particular order), but please click through to our Facebook fan page to place your vote between Wednesday, August 17th and Wednesday, August 24th.
The JUDGING Panel
We've recruited a panel of three distinguished women to vote for the winner of the Judges Award. These strong women of faith have been an inspiration to us in any number of ways. They are all dedicated mothers with a natural bent for leadership and mentorship and who are great role models for us and our audience. We are thrilled to have them on board for this competition!
