Winner of My Christmas Card Competition 2022

I am once again pleased to announce that I’ve been holding a competition to design my Christmas Card for 2022. I invited students from schools across Erith and Thamesmead to take part.

The theme for this year was: ‘Love Erith and Thamesmead’. I would like to thank all the pupils who drew and painted a design that showed what they love about places in our constituency. This included the parks or open spaces, local communities, shops, landmarks or even family and friends.

The artwork was assessed by a panel of judges, and the winning design has been used as my Christmas Card and sent to more than 1,000 local people and groups.

We had a great turnout for this competition and a big thank you also to the schools, teachers and parents who helped organise the competition.

Congratulations to this year’s winner, Kosi, aged 11, from St John Fisher Catholic Primary School. You can see the winning design below.

To complement the design, Kosi wrote a few words:

“My Christmas Card represents peacefulness, Christmas does not have to be very crowded – it can be a quiet time – best spend with family and friends.”

Thanks also to the local sponsors who kindly supported this year’s competition – Co-op Belvedere, Red Lion Noodle Bar, Rima & McRae, A-Star Financial Solutions, Edible Oils and Gordon and Thompson Solicitors.  

Congratulations again to Kosi and I wish a Merry Christmas to all.
