Once again, my annual Christmas Card Competition was a major success last year – with hundreds of amazing designs submitted by local primary school pupils in our area.

That’s why I am delighted to be launching the Competition again, having now written to all Mid Norfolk primary schools to ask for their youngster’s help and creativity to design my Christmas Card for 2021.

All primary school children in Mid Norfolk are welcome to enter the competition with the winning design featuring on the front of the 2021 Christmas Cards and two runners-up appearing on the reverse. This year, the top prize for my favourite design will be £20 in book tokens, followed by each of the two runners-up being rewarded with £10 of book tokens.

As ever, I hope the competition might help to inspire the next generation of promising artists with some festive fun! Set out below is the very simple process:

* Each school must send in their pupils’ designs (in one ‘pack’ please) no later than Friday 19th November (I’m afraid Christmas card logistics mean late entries can’t be considered).

* ‘Packs’ may be sent in by post to: 8 Damgate Street, Wymondham, NR18 0BQ or scanned and emailed to: george.freeman.mp@parliament.uk

* The card itself must be hand drawn on a blank white A4 piece of paper/card.

* Every entry must have the child’s name, age, school name and card title carefully written on the back of the card design.

My wife Fiona and I always love to see the wonderful entries that are submitted and are very much looking forward to seeing this year’s designs.

If YOUR school is interested in participating, please do get in touch.
