Spread some artistic cheer

As the sky grows colder and darker, we think the world needs a bit more color. That means it’s time for our annual mitten coloring contest.

The contest is open to children ages 12 and younger. Entries will be judged by a panel of Spokesman-Review staffers that will select winners in three divisions: ages 4 and younger, ages 5 to 8 and ages 9 to 12. Winners will receive a gift certificate to Mobius Discovery Center, and their entries will be printed in the newspaper on Dec. 29. As many entries as possible will be displayed at Mobius.

TO ENTER: Mail your entries to The Spokesman-Review Coloring Contest, P.O. Box 2160, Spokane, WA 99210, or deliver them to The S-R office at 999 W. Riverside Ave. Entries must be received no later than 2 p.m. Dec. 23, and cannot be returned. Be sure to attach a separate piece of paper that includes your name, address and telephone number so we can contact you if you win. Photocopies of the form are acceptable, and a copy of the form can be downloaded at spokesman.com/coloring-contest.
