Have Yourself a Merry & Colorful Christmas
We hope you will include the 2025 FCSU Christmas Coloring Contest among your family’s holiday traditions this season. It is a wonderful, creative activity that lets you take a pause from the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping, baking, and decorating. As in the past, we have four age groups for our children/youth members, with three age categories for adults. In keeping with the season of giving, we are generously awarding more prizes in the adult categories. This year, a first-place winner will be selected in each adult age group within the eight FCSU Regions.
CATEGORIES AND PRIZES
- Children and Youth Ages: 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, & 13-17. Three winners will be chosen per age group within each Region. Prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place are $50, $35, and $25 respectively, with the possibility of 12 winners per region. (96 winners.)
- Adult Ages: 18-39, 40-64, & 65+. One winner will be chosen from each adult age group per region, with the possibility of three winners per region. (24 winners.) Each winner will receive a $100 prize.
