SAN JOSE, CA - Meriwest Credit Union, one of the largest credit unions serving Silicon Valley, the San Francisco Bay Area and Tucson, Arizona, is kicking off its Sixth Annual Holiday Art Contest for children.

The Annual Holiday Art Contest awards cash prizes to the top three finishers in two age groups: Ages 3-10 and Ages 11-17. The two first-place winners also will have their artwork featured on the cover of Meriwest's 2007 holiday cards.
To enter the contest, participants must create a winter scene on a sheet of 8½" x 11" paper using a variety of media (pencil drawing, crayons, painting, computer graphics, etc.). A panel of judges from the Credit Union will evaluate each entry based on imagination, creativity and execution.
