The SJC 75th Anniversary festivities continue – and now we’re calling kids of all ages to design their own baby chick!
75 years ago, our Airport opened for commercial service and welcomed our first arriving passengers: 2,550 baby chickens. To celebrate, we introduced Ernie and his friends earlier this year, who can be found all across our terminals.
Now, we have the chance for you (or your kiddos!) to win an Ernie plushie and other goodies in an SJC Prize Pack. It’s time to break out the crayons and colored pencils and get creative! This contest will run Tuesday, Nov. 12 through Thursday, Jan. 2, 2025.
RULES
- Kids of all ages are invited to color in Ernie and design their own baby chicken using the SJC template. Printed versions of these templates can be found in Terminal A just beyond the security checkpoint, and in Terminal B at the kids tables (Gate 19) and Zoom Zone (between Gates 24 and 25). This template can also be downloaded here and printed at home.
- Use crayons, colored pencils or markers for your design.
- Once you’re done, submit your design!
a. Drop off a physical copy in the submission boxes located in Terminal A and B or at the Admin Office (1701 Airport Blvd., Ste. B-1130, San José) during regular business hours.
b. Scan your work and email it to us at sjcconnect@sjc.org. Put “SJC Coloring Contest” in the subject line.
