Gómez launches 2025 Holiday Card Contest for Hampden District students
State Senator Adam Gómez (D-Springfield) is inviting young artists across the Hampden district to help spread holiday cheer through his 2025 Holiday Card Design Contest, a new initiative that encourages creativity and community spirit among K-12 students.
“This contest is a fun and meaningful way to celebrate the imagination and talent of young people across the Hampden District, while celebrating the season,” said Senator Gómez. “Art has the power to bring people together, and I’m excited to see the artwork that reflects the heart and diversity of our district with the entire Commonwealth.”
The winning design will be featured on Senator Gómez’s official holiday card, which will be shared with elected officials, local organizations, and community partners across the Commonwealth. In addition to this honor, the winner will receive an official citation from the Massachusetts State Senate and a pizza party for their entire class.
Top submissions will be showcased on the Senator’s social media platforms throughout the holiday season.
