Mayor of Lancaster launches children's Christmas card competition

Councillor Margaret Pattison, mayor of Lancaster

The mayor of Lancaster has launched a competition for children to design a Christmas card fit for the King.

Councillor Margaret Pattison is asking primary school children from across the district to get creative and help spread some festive cheer by designing her official Christmas card.

The winning design will be sent to a number of important people on behalf of Lancaster City Council — including His Majesty the King.

“I am really excited about receiving the entries produced by the children of our district for my Christmas card competition," said the mayor.

“I know I will love all of the pictures, so it’ll be a tricky decision to choose just one.”

For those children wishing to enter the competition their design should:

  • Be on a piece of A4 paper of any colour
  • Use strong colours but avoid using glitter
  • Not have things stuck on to it – they don’t copy well
  • Include their name, age, address and telephone number on the back

Designs should be sent to the Mayor’s Office, Town Hall, Lancaster, LA1 1PJ before the closing date for submissions on Friday, November 21.

The winning artist will be invited to Lancaster Town Hall with up to nine guests for a special meet-and-greet with the mayor.

They will receive a guided tour of the historic building and receive a framed copy of their design.
