Last call for greeting card contest!

Sometimes, we could use a little help in the creativity department. Every year since 1992, Pier 1 Imports and UNICEF have been asking kids to get their Picasso on and send us their original designs for a UNICEF holiday greeting card.

This year, too, we’re asking kids 14 and under to submit their designs. The winning drawing will be printed as a UNICEF holiday card and will be sold at Pier 1 stores nationwide during the holiday season. And best of all, 100% of the sales proceeds will go directly to UNICEF!

You gotta hurry, though, 'cause all submissions for this year's contest have to be received by April 12. All designs must be drawn by hand, and the theme this year is "Making Spirits Bright."

So sharpen those pencils, put on your smocks, and get inspired to help UNICEF save children’s lives. 'Cause the UNICEF card contest is on!

For all your contest info, go to our contest page, check out the Pier 1 site, or call Pier 1 at 1.800.245.4595. And get creative!
