BATH — Pine Tree Society is seeking submissions from artists for Maine holiday-themed artwork for its annual holiday card fundraiser. 

“For the first time since 2020, Pine Tree Society’s Holiday Card Competition is back,” said Adria King, Chief Development Officer, in a news release. “We’re excited to invite artists to submit works to this long-standing annual tradition!”

Since 1969, when Pine Tree Society first began to offer holiday cards, thousands of people throughout Maine and beyond purchase these unique cards reproduced from original artwork by local artists. 

"It is one of its most important fundraisers and all proceeds support critical programs and services that help Maine children and adults with disabilities lead active, more socially connected lives," said Pine Tree Society.

Pine Tree Society will choose three holiday themed paintings to feature on its 2025 holiday cards.

Category 1: Maine coast holiday theme

Category 2: General Maine holiday theme

Category 3: A holiday-themed work created specifically by a Pine Tree Camp camper or Pine Tree Society client.

The deadline for submission is Friday, May 30, 2025.
