Yreka, CA – The Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office has officially announced its third annual Holiday Card Contest, inviting elementary and middle school students (grades K–8) to submit original artwork for a chance to have their design featured as the official 2025 Sheriff’s Office holiday card.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the contest is open to all Siskiyou County students, with entries accepted either as individual submissions or as class projects. The winning artist will not only have their design featured on the Sheriff’s Office’s annual holiday card but will also win a pizza party for their entire class with the Sheriff.
Students are encouraged to create holiday-themed artwork that reflects the season and local spirit—examples include snowmen, patrol cars, deputies, or winter scenes in Siskiyou County. All entries must include a greeting such as “Season’s Greetings” or “Happy Holidays” and be created using crayons, markers, colored pencils, or paint. Glitter is not permitted.
Entries must be received by Friday, November 15, 2025, at 5 p.m. Artwork can be emailed in color to abbi.nowdesha@siskiyousheriff.org, dropped off at the Sheriff’s Office (305 Butte Street, Yreka, CA 96097), or mailed to the same address. Students and teachers are reminded not to fold artwork when mailing submissions.
The annual contest continues to grow in popularity, celebrating community creativity while spreading holiday cheer across Siskiyou County.
