Clwyd South MP unveils winner of annual Christmas card competition

A Christmas card designed by a Llangollen pupil will be sent to the prime minister after she was crowned the winner of a local competition.

Chloe Williams, aged 10, from Ysgol Gymraeg Y Gwernant was one of the many primary school pupils to take part in Clwyd South MP Simon Baynes’ annual Christmas card competition.

After a difficult judging process it was Chloe’s design of all things festive that saw her crowned the winner by Mr Baynes.

Alongside Chloe, the five runners-up were announced (in age order) as Taylor Butterton (aged 4) from Ysgol Bryn Collen, Lola Penzer (aged 6) from Rhosymedre CP School, Kacey Williams (aged 8) from Ysgol Penycae, Isabella Hardy Clarke (aged 10) from
Froncysyllte CP School and Amelia Dulson (aged 10) from Bronington VA School.

Chloe will receive a £20 book token and the runners-up will each receive £10 book tokens.

The winning design will feature on the front of Mr Baynes’s Christmas card which will be sent to the Prime Minister, The Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP, and other public figures in government and beyond, with the designs from the runners-up featured on the back of the card.

Simon Baynes MP said: “I was delighted to hold my annual Christmas Card Competition again this year and would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Primary School pupils who took part and congratulate the winning entries.

“The standard of entries was extremely high, and it was very difficult to decide on a winner.

“I would like to congratulate the winner Chloe Williams on her excellent design as well as runners-up, Taylor Butterton, Lola Penzer, Kacey Williams, Isabella Hardy Clarke and Amelia Dulson on their fantastic entries.

“I was extremely proud to see the wonderful artistic talent we have here in Clwyd South.”
