Christmas Card Competition 2020 – The Results!
Thank you to all our schools who have indeed, brought ‘Joy to the World’ with their wonderful entries to our Christmas card competition, 2020. In all, we had nearing 100 wonderful images to consider! It was an incredibly difficult and challenging task to find the winners, such was the strength and depth of the artistic and creative interpretations of our theme, ‘Joy to the World’. However, after much discernment we have arrived at our winners. Thank you to every one that entered and I’m sure you will agree that we are blessed by the talents of our pupils….and their Art teachers!
And so to the results:

This has a lovely ‘Christmassy’ sparkle and a strong composition. The gentle release of the dove raises our eyes to the promise and hope of the star, leaving you with a smile. Just lovely.
