A grouping of snow globes by 11-year-old Britley Frazier of Signal Mountain has been selected the winner of the Chattanooga Times Free Press’ 2024 Lin C. Parker Wrapping Paper Design Contest.
Her artwork, which features various Christmas icons within each globe, will be inserted in Sunday’s print editions, filling one side of a newspaper broadsheet. Designs by five finalists are included in smaller representations on the reverse side.
For her efforts, Britley will receive $25 from the Times Free Press and other prizes from the contest sponsors and fellow judges: ArtsBuild, United Way of Greater Chattanooga and the Creative Discovery Museum. Additionally, the children’s museum is providing family passes for the five finalists and Readers’ Choice winner, and will exhibit reproductions of the top submissions during the holiday season.
Competition is open to children in grades 1-5. This year’s contest drew 44 entries, ranging from the Grinch to gnomes to Nativity scenes.
