"My region, my Christmas" – Drawing competition designed by the EA group

The Committee of the Regions' European Alliance group is organizing a drawing competition for children between 7 – 12 years.

The slogan of the competition is "My region, my Christmas".

The drawings must illustrate the Christmas period in the regions of European Union. Young artists should also write a short description of the Christmas traditions in their regions.

The aim of the drawing competition is to engage children in a creative exercise to identify the role of Christmas traditions in their regions and support their creativity and innovative ideas expressed through art.
The nomination of participating primary schools belongs to members of the EA group, the secretariat of the group being the coordinator of the competition. Best drawings from each school need to be sent to the EA group's secretariat, which will be exposed in the Committee of the Regions building in Brussels during the month of December 2010.

The collection of best drawings can be consulted in the booklet.
