The winner of Karl McCartney MP’s annual Christmas card competition has been chosen from among a wide range of entries submitted by young artists at Lincoln’s primary schools.
Each year, Lincoln’s MP, writes to all primary schools across the constituency, inviting children to submit designs to the competition. The winner’s design is used as Karl’s official Christmas card and sent to Parliamentary colleagues, businesses and organisations throughout Lincolnshire.
This year’s competition winner is Anfisa, a Year 6 student from Hartsholme Academy, with runners-up from Hartsholme Academy, and, Manor Leas Junior Academy.
Lincoln MP, Karl, said: “The number of talented young people in our City never ceases to amaze me. It was a hugely tough challenge selecting the winner from the wonderful designs from the ten bright and joyful designs that stood out. Anfisa not only showcased her talent for art, she also captured the Christmas spirit. My huge congratulations and my heartfelt thanks for all the hard work and thought she clearly put into the design.
“Thank you also to all those who entered and sorry to those who were not chosen as winner or runners up this year – there were so many beautiful and heart-warming designs to choose from. And of course, a big thank you to all the schools and teachers who organised their entries. I hope the chosen winner and runners-up will bring a smile to readers’ faces.”
The official constituency Christmas card is used by Mr McCartney to send to Parliamentary colleagues, businesses and organisations across Lincoln, Skellingthorpe, Bracebridge Heath and Waddington East and the wider County and East Midlands. The card is also used by the Lincoln Conservative Association Chairman, Mrs. Jane Kendrick, to send to each Conservative Association member.
