It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and what better way to celebrate than participating in the fifteenth annual Above The Law holiday card contest? Across the legal profession, lawyers are eagerly anticipating the holiday season, made all the brighter with the imminent distribution of Biglaw bonuses, while also preparing their most clever and unique submissions for the contest.
For those not familiar with the event, it’s a celebration of creativity and good humor in the legal sphere. The contest invites submissions for electronic holiday cards that possess an edge of fun, wit, or an unusual take on the tradition.
The rules for the contest are fairly straightforward:
- Only e-cards are considered. This is as part of the commitment to environmental sustainability, avoiding physical cards and harnessing digital creativity.
- The e-cards should be sent via email to tips@abovethelaw.com with the subject line “Holiday Card Contest”. A clear subject line helps organize and sort out the entries.
- Submissions should be unique and exciting. Traditional winter landscapes or generic text is less likely to make the cut; the contest is looking for cards with that extra spark.
- Submissions should include a brief explanation of why the card is compelling, adding an extra layer to the card’s interpretation.
- Lastly, the deadline is strict, falling on December 8 at 11.59 p.m. (New York time). If you’re reading this post after the deadline, then Above the Law suggests you should check their site more frequently.
This popular event has seen tremendous response in the past and continues to be a highlight of the holiday season. The team at Above the Law is eagerly anticipating this year’s entries and wishes all participants the best of luck. Let the countdown to the deadline begin!
