Published: 2006-11-20

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- The Catholic Communication Campaign of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is inviting students in first through sixth grades to participate in an art contest asking them to illustrate how Jesus would deliver the good news today. The deadline for submissions is March 5. Entry information is available online at www.CatholicCommunicationCampaign.org. Ramon Rodriguez, CCC's director of development, noted that last year more than 1,600 students from across the United States submitted artwork "that demonstrated that children see Jesus as part of their ordinary experience." "Many drew Jesus at a computer, sending e-mail, calling or text messaging on a cell phone," he said in a statement announcing this year's contest.
