Free Thoughts - Free Kids : Express yourself in a HumanLight Design Contest

HumanLight is a holiday celebrated around December 23rd specifically to
acknowledge reason, family, friendship, and other shared, secular values of humankind.

The HumanLight Committee is hosting a HumanLight Holiday card and ornament design contest for secularists of all ages.  Contestants should design an artistic expression to positively address these questions or some aspect of the HumanLight holiday.

What do we have to celebrate during the winter holiday season? What do
you hope for in the future? What's the Humanist view/perspective?  

ELIGIBILITY: All are welcome to enter!


Category 1: Ages 11 and under.
Category 2: Ages 12-17.
