The Great Christmas Project is inviting 100 extraordinary artists to become our inaugural Founding 100. Each contributes one original work that becomes beautiful Christmas products and collectibles — the artists bring the creativity, our partners bring the products to life, and the proceeds bring Christmas to children.

The Founding 100
The movement grows
A worldwide Christmas story
A high-resolution file of one artwork, illustration, or design. You keep your original and your copyright. That's it — one contribution, on your terms.
Fine holiday stationery, greeting cards, gift tags, and printables. 100% of the proceeds go to clearing Christmas wish lists for children in need.
Your name on the Artists of Santa wall, credit on every product, and a direct link to your website.
Every product sold through Squishies From Santa helps fund free gifts for children — including Santa's Free Store and Books From Santa · About · Contact.
Artists for Santa is part of The Great Christmas Project. Here's exactly what we ask for, what you keep, and how it works.
Artists for Santa is part of The Great Christmas Project, our parent organization. Your permission goes to The Great Christmas Project.
Permission to use one design, the one piece you send us. It's a limited Christmas license, written on one page in plain English.
That one design may be used only on:
It is not permission to use your other work. It is not permission to use this design outside Christmas products. This is not a rights grab.
Yes. You keep 100% of your copyright and ownership, and your original stays with you. We never ask you to give up a physical original. This is not a sale of your art and not an all-rights transfer. We only need a high-resolution digital file of the one design.
No. It's a limited license for this Christmas season only. It doesn't last forever, and you keep your original and your copyright.
It covers one design, for Christmas products only. It doesn't extend to anything else you've made. If you're ever invited back for a future Christmas collection, that would be a completely new written agreement. Nothing beyond this collection is assumed.
You do. Nothing is printed, published, or sold without your review and approval first.
Before your artwork is printed, published, promoted, or sold, we share the proposed product and promotional layouts with you, credit included. We don't "fix" your art. We want you to feel proud of every place your work appears.
You're credited as a Founding Artist, using the credit line exactly as you give it to us. Your Founding Artist square shows your name, headshot, and website, plus only the social links you choose. When a product is made from your design, your square links to it.
It's three simple steps:
Sending us your artwork doesn't mean you've agreed to anything. There's no pressure, and you're welcome to ask questions at any point.
100% of the proceeds from these Christmas products go to clearing real Christmas wish lists for children in need. We don't keep a single penny. Our operating costs are privately funded, so every sale goes to kids.
