I’m looking for a talented young artist to help me design the front of my official Christmas card this year, and I’d love children across Stevenage and the villages to get involved.
The theme for this year’s competition is:
“Christmas in Stevenage and the villages”
So, what does Christmas look like to you? Maybe it’s the Christmas lights in Stevenage, a favourite place in one of our villages, a snowy scene, your family celebrating together, or something completely different. It’s up to you!
The winning artwork will be featured on my official Christmas card for 2026. I also hope to visit the winning child’s school to congratulate them in person. There will be a prize for the winner, with recognition for their school too.
