LANCASTER, S.C. – The holiday season has arrived in the Lancaster County School District (LCSD), and with it comes the announcement of the talented students selected as the 2025 Holiday Card Winners.
The district invited students from schools across the county to submit their creative designs for the annual competition. This year also marked a new evolution for the contest with the introduction of a multimedia category, expanding the ways students could express their holiday spirit.
The Selection Process Winners were chosen through a district-wide voting process. To ensure fairness and focus solely on the art, district office staff voted on the submissions anonymously via an online form. The resulting lineup features young artists ranging from 4th to 10th grade, representing elementary, middle, and high schools across Lancaster County.
Prizes and Recognition The selected students will see their artwork professionally printed. Each winning student, along with their art teacher and school principal, will receive a set of blank cards featuring the winning design to use for their own holiday greetings. Additionally, the Lancaster County School Board will receive a set of the winning cards to share with the community.
