The Results Are In: Announcing the Winners of the 2025 Mayor’s Holiday Card Design Contest

The Municipality of Leamington is pleased to announce the winners of the 2025 Mayor’s Holiday Card Design Contest.

Now in its second year, the contest invited Grade 4 and 5 students from local schools to submit original artwork for a chance to be featured on the cover of the Mayor’s Holiday Greeting Card. The Municipality received an outstanding 272 entries, each one a creative, colourful reflection of the holiday season.

With so many thoughtful and expressive submissions, selecting a single winning design proved impossible. Instead, four exceptional pieces were chosen to be featured on this year’s card:

• Abigail – St. Louis Catholic Elementary School
• Avery – École élémentaire catholique Saint-Michel
• Madelyn – South Shore Christian School
• Misael – Margaret D. Bennie Public School

Mayor Hilda MacDonald shared her appreciation for the students’ efforts:

“Every year, our young artists remind us of the joy and imagination that make this season so special. The creativity shared by our Grade 4 and 5 students truly warms my heart. Their artwork brings a wonderful sense of community to our holiday celebrations. I am delighted to showcase four beautiful designs this year and extend my heartfelt thanks to every student who took part.”

The Municipality extends its gratitude to all participating schools, teachers, and students for their enthusiasm and support of this initiative.

The winning artwork will be featured on the Municipality’s official 2025 Mayor’s Holiday Greeting Card, which will be shared with the Prime Minister, the Premier of Ontario, federal and provincial representatives, community members, and friends of Leamington.
