COVINGTON, VIRGINIA (VR) – The Covington mill recently announced its 2022 Christmas Card competition winner, Joel Tucker. His entry is a collage with acrylic, pen, and ink on watercolor paper featuring three Christmas trees and a deer family.
Tucker received a monetary award for winning the contest, and his artwork is featured on the mill’s 2022 Christmas card which has been mailed to all employees and retirees, in addition to business and community leaders throughout the United States and abroad.
Artwork from Ginny Neil, and Covington High School art students Amia Riddick, Christina Terrell, and Addison Morris will makeup this year’s WestRock holiday greetings in the local media. Their artwork was chosen from the 30 entries in this year’s annual Christmas card competition.
Neil’s artwork was created digitally. It depicts Santa in a sleigh flying over downtown Covington with a WestRock box holding presents in the back of the sleigh. The downtown Covington streetlights are prominently featured.

Terrell’s artwork was created in pen, marker, and pencil. It features the train at the City Playground and has a Christmas tree, presents, and lights.
