Youth Art in Lights Contest
Youth Art in Lights Contest
Entry deadline: Friday, October 24
Calling all creative kids!
The Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds Foundation is planning the 2025 Sparky’s Holiday Lights event—and we need help from artistic youth in the community!
Kids ages 5-12: enter the “Youth Art in Lights” contest. Artists aged 5-12 should submit a drawing of a holiday-themed object or scene. The Holiday Lights Committee will select a winner… and that drawing will be brought to life in lights and become one of the colorful displays in Sparky’s Holiday Lights!
Sparky’s Holiday Lights runs November 28 – December 24– Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Plus, three bonus nights– Monday, Dec. 22nd, Tuesday Dec. 23rd and Wednesday Dec. 24th.
It’s a 3/4-mile drive-thru extravaganza of holiday light displays and decorations!
Entrants can visit sparkysholidaylights.com for more details and to download Entry Forms. Completed forms can be emailed to support@fairgrounds-foundation.org or mailed to Fairgrounds Foundation PO Box 1806 Freedom, CA 95019
Entry forms: English and Spanish
Drawings can be anything to do with the Holiday Season. The winning drawing must be easy to duplicate in a metal framework with display lights that will be viewed after dark by visitors. A simple design, is best. Drawing may be submitted on the back of the entry form or on a separate sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper.
There will be one (1) drawing selected and duplicated by the Holiday Lights Committee at NO expense to the entrant and will be on display for the entire 2025 Sparky’s Holiday Lights event.
The parents or guardians of the selected student will sign an authorization release for TV and promotional purposes.
