The Knights of Columbus offer multiple activities that promote Christmas and the season of Advent in their proper context: Journey to the Inn, Spread the Light of Christ, Crèche or Advent Wreath Blessing, and the Christmas Poster Contest. These programs are centered on the example of the Holy Family and the Nativity of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The Keep Christ in Christmas (KCIC) Program encourages our neighbors to shift from a preoccupation with materialism to the light of Christ and the spirit of giving. The Knights of Columbus “Keep Christ in Christmas Poster Contest” is a fun way to engage the young people of our South Philly parish and Catholic school communities, encouraging their creativity and getting them more involved in their faith.

RULES

Poster must reflect the theme of Keep Christ in Christmas. Each poster should be the original work (including concept, layout, slogan and any visual images) of a single person.

Poster should be approximately 11x17 inches. However, the Supreme Council will not disqualify based on poster size. If pastels, chalk or charcoal are used, the poster must be laminated or covered with clear plastic.

The name and grade of the entrant should be printed on the reverse side of the poster in case the poster and entry form get separated.

All entries become property of the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council office. Posters cannot be returned in most cases.
