Jolasveinar drawing contest winners
We congratulate our winners and
sincerely thank all the children for their
participation. Your drawings will be on
display at the Lögberg-Heimskrinlga
Open House on Saturday, December
14, and mailed to you following that
event.
Last year, the editor and Ray and
Barbara Gíslason, who are responsible
for the layout and look of our paper,
had great difficulty deciding between
the many beautiful drawings of the
jólasveinar, received as entries in our
drawing contest. This year, to make the
judging procedure a little less painful,
the children were asked to submit only
one drawing on an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of
paper. We also decided to award prizes
in three age categories, and asked artist
Erika MacPherson to do the judging.
The winner of the $25.00 prize in the
11-13 age category is Kate Czeranko
(top right photo), the granddaughter of
Olga and the late Dave Egilson. Kate is
12 years old and lives in Langruth,
Manitoba. Her drawing of Kertasníkir
is featured on page 20.
The winner of the $15.00 prize in the
7-10 age category is Christopher
Finnbogason (right centre photo) of
Warren, Manitoba. Christopher is 8
years old and his drawing of
Bjúgnakrækir (Sausage Stealer) was
featured on page 2 of our December 6th
issue.
This year’s winner of $10.00 in the 6-
and-under age category is Elín Sólveig
Ingólfisson (rightlowerphoto) from Red
Deer, Alberta. Elín is 6 years old and
her drawing depicts all thirteen
Jólasveinar on page 20.
