“This long-standing event is an eagerly awaited yearly tradition” according to the Holiday Poster Contest Chairperson Nancy Morris.

“The artwork the children submit is so creative and really is a true representation of the spirit of community that Manhasset has. I have been involved with the Poster Contest for more than 15 years and look forward to it every holiday season!”

The event is sponsored by: The Town of North Hempstead, the Manhasset Park District, the Manhasset Chamber of Commerce, and the Manhasset Lakeville Fire & Water District.
