Mayor Gayle Kaler is inviting students to participate in the 3rd annual student Christmas ornament contest.

Students are asked to handcraft Christmas ornaments to decorate a tree in the foyer of City Hall. The contest is for all students, kindergarten through 12th grade, who are Paducah residents.  

Mayor Kaler said, “The purpose of this contest is to provide an outlet for artistic expression.  Each ornament submitted meeting the criteria is placed on the Christmas tree, and each ornament is beautiful in its own way.  The real joy is watching students find their ornaments on the tree to show their friends and family.”   

The deadline to submit an ornament with a completed submission form to City Hall is Friday, Nov. 20 at 4:30 pm. No entry fee is required. 

The top three ornaments in each of the three categories will be recognized at the December 8 City Commission meeting.  The judging categories are K-3rd grade, 4th-8th grade, and 9th-12th grade.   

The criteria for the ornaments are: Ornaments should be 3-7 inches in height (not including hanger) and ready to hang. Ornaments should be approximately a half pound or less in weight. No glass or other breakable materials. Only one entry per student. The use of recycled and natural materials is encouraged. Special consideration will be given to ornaments featuring Paducah’s history, landmarks, name, etc.

Enclose a completed submission form with your entry providing a detailed description of the ornament.  Ornaments that cannot be matched with a corresponding submission form may be displayed but will not be eligible for judging. Artwork must be the student’s own. Ornaments will be viewed close up so details are important.
