There's still 103 days until Xmas and the Mayor of Richmond Cllr. Geoff Acton has issued an early appeal to budding artists to design his annual Christmas card.

The fortunate winner will then have their special design made into a REAL card which will become the official card for the Mayor, who will send them out.

The artist with the winning entry will also be invited to tea with the Mayor in his parlour with two or three runners up

The competition is open to primary school children aged between 5 and 11 who lives or attend schools in the borough of Richmond upon Thames.

For guidance entries should be A5 in size (fold an A4 sheet in half) as colourful as you like and your own original image.

Please write the name of the child, their age and their school or address on the back of their entry so we are able to notify them if they win.
