Christmas comp for young artists

Children from across Montgomeryshire are invited to take part in a Christmas Card competition run by local Assembly Member, Russell George.

Mr. George is inviting all children aged 5–11 to have a go at designing the official picture for his 2017 Christmas card which depicts a Christmas scene.

The winning picture will feature on the front of the cards sent out by the Montgomeryshire Assembly Member later this year.

This is the sixth year of the popular competition which attracts in excess of 200 entries from local children eager to show off their artistic skills and creativity.

Prizes are given to the winner and runner up and every child taking part in the competition receives a certificate.

Mr George said: “I hope that this year’s Christmas Card competition will inspire Montgomeryshire’s young artists to put pen, pencil and paint brush to paper to show off their artistic talents. Every year, I am pleasantly surprised by the number of entries I receive and I have to say the standard is always very high.”

The competition will run through to October 27.
