A holiday card design competition was sponsored by PEN-International at DLSU-CSB. The competition was conducted in December of 2002 and the card was used by the college to help celebrate the 2002-2003 holiday season.

The winning designs used for the card were submitted by CSB students Leah Osido and Jordan Ruan Valencia. Leah and Jordan each received a prize from PEN-International that was presented by Mr. Reizo Utagawa (Executive Director of The Nippon Foundation) at the opening ceremonies of the CSB PEN-International Multimedia Learning Center.
