Greetings, artists! Each year, JDRF sells sets of greeting cards made by kids just like you. These cards give young artists a chance to help make people more aware about diabetes, and to raise money for research to find a cure.

JDRF is now inviting children to send in their designs for its 2008 cards. Up to 15 winning designs will be made into cards for the JDRF 2008 Holiday Card Collection. This year's deadline to enter is May 15, 2008.

Who can enter?

Kids 16 or under who have juvenile diabetes, or who would like to dedicate their artwork to their brother or sister who has type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes).

What to create?

Anything that means "celebrate" to you, all year 'roundfrom snowflakes to birthday cakes.

How to create?

You can use almost any material, such as markers, crayons, felt, pastels, construction paper, and oil on canvas. It just has to be all your own creation.

• Not recommended: #2 or colored pencil (does not show up well)
