The Royal Mail runs a national Christmas art competition and the theme is ‘What does the Christmas season mean to you?’This event is a prestigious competition that any person would love to win! The best two designs will see their design made into the 1st and 2nd class Christmas stamps.

Lots of schools have entered this competition and are all hoping to win. The amazing prize is that your design will be shown to Her Majesty, The Queen, and will be put on millions of Christmas cards during the festive season.

Last year there were over 240,000 entries. The deadline was  the 17th February and the age limit was 4-11 years old. Only two winners will win and their design will be published and that will be a great opportunity!

Our school have entered this competition  because it has been a long time since this competition has taken place and so we thought that it would be good fun and a fantastic opportunity. Twelve classes from our school have entered and we think that one of them might win (fingers crossed) because there has been some really good designs!
