Enter the Kyanite Mining Holiday Art Contest

What better way to spread holiday cheer than through a little local creativity? This holiday season, Kyanite Mining Corporation is giving Central Virginia artists a chance to share their talents, celebrate the place they call home and possibly have their artwork featured on a holiday card sent far and wide!

The company is now accepting entries for its 2026 Holiday Art Contest, inviting artists to create an original design inspired by the beauty, charm and holiday spirit of Central Virginia. From colorful paintings and detailed drawings to photography and digital designs, artists are encouraged to get creative. Entries are welcome in any medium, making this a great opportunity for artists with a variety of interests and talents to participate.

The winning artist will receive $100, and their artwork will be featured on Kyanite Mining Corporation’s official 2026 holiday card. The card will be shared through print, email and the company’s social media channels, giving the selected artist an opportunity to have their work seen by a wide audience.

To enter, artists should submit their original artwork in PNG, JPG or PDF format through the company’s online entry form. All submissions must be received by November 20, 2026. Whether you’re an experienced artist or simply enjoy creating something special, Kyanite Mining Corporation hopes you’ll take part and help bring a little local creativity to the holiday season.
