2023 Holiday Card Contest

More than 900 Idaho public school students in kindergarten through twelth grade entered the Idaho Department of Education’s 2023 Holiday Card Contest.

Boise fifth-grader Aryan Eruvuru of Trail Wind Elementary and eighth-grade homeschool student Ashley Lind of Soda Springs were voted as this year’s overall contest winners and will be featured on the Idaho Department of Education’s holiday cards.

Winners were selected for each grade level, and the outpouring of colorful, imaginative art made it very difficult – although fun – for judges to narrow the field to just thirteen winners to grace the Idaho Department of Education website.
