This year, Arts Culture Catawba (formerly the United Arts Council of Catawba County) is happy to announce that we are partnering with the Hickory Christmas Show and their ‘Festival of Trees’ Christmas Tree Competition! This competition will be managed by the Hickory Christmas Show who is offering a total of $4000 in cash prizes for winning trees.

All of the trees submitted into the tree competition will be on display from December 6th through our Jingle Bell BASH which will be held on Monday, December 9th! Any of the artists/decorators who have entered a tree into the competition have the option to sell their tree in our Silent Auction with 50% of the sales going to the artist/decorator and the other 50% to benefit our Innovative Artist Grant.

We are extremely thankful for this partnership and encourage any Christmas tree decorating enthusiast who is interested in participating in this competition to visit the Hickory Christmas Show’s website for more details: www.hickorychristmasshow.com/festivaltrees24
