It may only be October but Port Colborne is already accepting submissions for it's Christmas Card Contest.
Local kids have until Thursday October 22nd to design their own card and mail it to Mayor Bill Steele's office at City Hall.
The theme this year is Christmas in Port Colborne so all designs have to be festive but also pay tribute to the city.
The contest is only for kids who live or go to school in Port Colborne.
The designs can be in a horizontal or vertical format but they must be on a standard piece of white paper.
All submissions also have to include the child's name, their address and their phone number.
