NEF Gratitude Cards Art Contest

The Needham Education Foundation is excited to announce the 2024-2025 NEF Gratitude Card Art Contest for the new designs of this year’s Gratitude cards. These cards have long served as a perfect way to acknowledge and thank NPS teachers, staff, and administration, particularly during the holiday season, Staff Appreciation Week, and at the end of the school year. All proceeds from the sale of the Gratitude cards go directly into funding teachers’ innovative ideas and professional development oppotunities through NEF grants in the Needham Public Schools.

Eligibility

The 2024-2025 NEF Gratitude Card Art Contest is open to all Needham Public Schools students in grades K-12.

Deadline

All entries must be received by Friday, November 1, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. We will notify the winners on November 4th. The winning designs will be available for purchase online in our Gratitude Grams and one design will be chosen to be printed and sold in local stores after Thanksgiving.

The 2024-2025 Art Contest has now ended. Winning entries will be posted the week of November 4th. Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry!
