Jefferson Sheriff’s Office Holds 2019 Holiday Card Design Contest

JEFFERSON COUNTY, AL -- The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office wants artwork and designs from local children to use as the office's official holiday card for 2019, and has launched a contest to get the right design. The contest runs from now until Nov. 5.

Jefferson County residents/students ages 12 and under may submit original artwork to the contest, with the winner used on the front of the Sheriff’s Office’s holiday cards which will be mailed at the end of November or the first week of December.

Entries must be original artwork with a holiday-themed illustration that incorporates the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office in some way. The design should portray positive police and community relationships.

"We want children to understand that we are committed to their well-being, safety and security; our job is so much more than writing tickets and arresting people, said Brittany Sharp of the JCSO.

All appropriate artwork submitted to the contest will be on display at the Sheriff’s Office social media throughout the months of December and January.
