Have you ever stood back and looked at your Christmas tree and had a brilliant idea pop into your head for an ornament? Something meaningful, funny, nostalgic, etc. that you wished actually existed?
If so, this post is for you.
Old World Christmas has officially launched their 4th Annual “Next Great Ornament” Contest, and they’re inviting everyday creatives (yes, that means you) to submit original ornament ideas for a chance to see them turned into a real, for-sale ornament this holiday season.
Whether your idea is inspired by:
Your favorite animal
A special place or landmark
A beloved holiday tradition
Or a quirky memory that always makes you smile
There’s no limit to creativity here. If it means something to you, why not have it on your Christmas tree. 😊

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this fun opportunity to get creative with ornament design. I love how Old World Christmas invites fans to submit their own ideas and possibly see them turned into real hand-blown classics. It’s inspiring to think about what kind of meaningful or whimsical ornament I’d dream up, whether it’s something nostalgic, seasonal, or personal to my own family’s traditions.
