Posters must be the work of the child and should feature “Woodly the Elf” participating in the festival. The other rules pertaining to the contest are; no photos may be used that would identify the child in any way, poster must be on a 22 X 28 poster board, each child must write on the back of their poster – I have completed this poster by myself and sign their name.
