Spreading the Joy of Eid: Our Eid Postcard Competition

In short

We invited primary school children to design their own Eid postcards. Three winning designs were chosen, and the first-place design was professionally printed by My Salah Mat as real postcards, then given to every pupil and teacher to take home to their families.

Eid is a time of joy, celebration and togetherness. At My Salah Mat, we wanted to bring that spirit into schools through a creative initiative that would make the occasion even more special for children.

We invited primary school students to take part in our Eid Postcard Competition, encouraging them to design their own Eid-themed postcards and express their creativity.

Three winning designs were selected, with the first-place winner receiving the exciting opportunity to have their artwork professionally printed by My Salah Mat as Eid postcards and distributed to all students and teachers to take home and share with their families. The second and third-place winners also received special gifts from My Salah Mat.

More than a competition

More than just a competition, the initiative gave children the opportunity to be part of something meaningful, celebrate their creativity and spread the joy of Eid beyond the classroom.

At My Salah Mat, we love creating experiences that help children connect with their faith and make Islamic occasions more engaging and memorable.
