Holiday Decorating Contests

‘Tis the season for some holiday spirit! This year, we’re trying something new to spread holiday cheer by holding two contests: a holiday tree decorating contest and a snowman building contest. Departments or teams may choose to participate in either.

Please be mindful of Cooper’s decorating policy (click here for the policy and click here for the Environment of Care Committee flyer.)

Holiday Tree Decorating Contest:

The holiday tree decorating contest has been a long-standing Cooper tradition for many years. We invite teams to continue this tradition while also being conscious and inclusive of the many different cultures that exist here at Cooper.

Snowman Building Contest:

Do You Want to Build a Snowman? Introducing Cooper’s first snowman building contest, where you and your teams build and decorate a snowman, using anything but snow!

Rules and guidelines for both contests:

  • Each department is responsible for providing its own tree or snowman.
  • Teams may decorate their tree or create the body of their snowman in any way they like, as long as it adheres to Cooper’s decorating policy mentioned above.
  • Upload a picture of your department’s holiday tree or snowman via the Pulse+ app no later than Friday, December 22, 2023.
  • You must be on Pulse+ to enter the contest.
  • When uploading: In the subject line, please include your department’s name and the shift category – Day Shift, Night Shift, Ambulatory Offices, or Corporate Offices – for your submission.
  • Teams may enter both contests, but holiday tree and snowman entries must be posted separately.
  • Submissions should only be posted once to Pulse+ to avoid duplicate votes.

All Cooper team members will get a chance to review the display and ‘like’ their favorite holiday tree or snowman. The display with the most ‘likes’ for each category will be the winner for that category. Team members can only ‘like’ each display once.

DISPLAYS SHOULD BE ‘LIKED’ ACCORDING TO:
• Originality
• Quality of work
• Creative use of materials

PRIZES:
A $100 gift card will be awarded to the department with the best decorated holiday tree or snowman in the following categories:
• Day Shift
• Night Shift
• Ambulatory Offices
• Corporate Offices

Voting for both contests will close Friday, December 29, 2023, and the winners for each category will be announced the first week of 2024.
