PRIMARY school pupils across Halton are being asked to submit festive designs for a Christmas card competition held by the Police and Crime Commissioner of Cheshire.

The Christmas card competition is free to enter for all pupils aged 11 or under.

Police and Crime Commissioner John Dwyer is asking for festive Christmas drawings to be sent in, with one lucky winner’s design to be used for the official Christmas card for that area.

Mr Dwyer said: “John Dwyer said: “I know it’s only the end of September and some people will feel it’s a little early to be talking about Christmas, but it’ll soon be here before we know it.

“I ran a similar competition in 2021 and was hugely impressed with the imaginative ideas the children came up with.

“I’m looking forward to seeing the creativity harnessed in the designs for this year.”

The commissioner is looking for four bespoke designs from areas covering Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester, Halton and Warrington.

All entrants should include their name, age, contact number (of a parent/guardian or school) and include the name and address of their school on the reverse of their design. 

But these details should not be included as part of the design itself.

“Sending a Christmas card that features a design from a local youngster is a lovely way to spread festive cheer to people, and I’m looking forward to sprinkling a little bit of Christmas magic here in Cheshire this year,” Mr Dwyer added.

Send off your festive designs to: FAO Jen Seed, Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, Clemonds Hey, Oakmere Road, Winsford, Cheshire, CW7 2UA
