Newfoundland and Labrador students from kindergarten to Grade Six are invited to show off their creative talents by entering a new Come Home 2022 contest. Schools will distribute information about the contest to their teachers.
Using either photos, drawings, paintings, poems or videos, students should be as creative as possible in depicting what ‘home’ means to them.
The contest is open until June 10, 2022. Three winners will bring home a Come Home 2022 prize pack, as well as a pizza party for their entire class.
The contest poster can be found online here.
Entries should be emailed to ComeHome2022Contest@gov.nl.ca.
Newfoundlanders and Labradorians everywhere can visit ComeHome2022.ca to sign up for the Come Home e-newsletter, which will share event announcements and information throughout the year. They can also follow ComeHome2022 on Facebook and Instagram to get up-to-date celebration information.
Come Home 2022 aims to encourage family and friends of Newfoundland and Labrador to come home, remind residents of the wonders here in their own ‘backyard’, complement ongoing work to attract visitors earlier in the season and expand ongoing marketing efforts with vacation travelers.
