I am pleased to be able to launch my 2023 Christmas Card competition. With two months to go until the day itself, primary school-aged children in Runnymede and Weybridge will have the chance to design my official Christmas card, which will be sent to other MPs (including the Prime Minister!) and lots of people across the Runnymede and Weybridge constituency.
The competition is open to all local children up to the age of 11. The winner’s design will be featured on the front of the card and three runners-up will be featured on the back, with everyone entering receiving a certificate to thank them for taking part.
There are no criteria for the design – it might be about Runnymede or Weybridge at Christmas, parliament, or something completely different. Please do avoid using glitter though, as it doesn't come out well at the printers!
The form on which to design the card is attached below. Entries can be posted to me individually by parents, or via participating schools, to the address below.

Alternatively a clear digital photograph can be emailed to [email protected] with the subject heading 'Christmas Card competition 2023 entry'. All entries must have the child's name, age and school clearly noted.
All entries consent to the use of the Christmas picture, child's first name and age online and in print.
The deadline for entry is Friday 24th of November to allow for printing, so please do send your design as soon as possible.
