Isle of Wight East MP Joe Robertson has launched a Christmas card design competition.

The MP has invited all primary school age children across the constituency, including those home-educated, to take part.

The competition was launched at Brading Primary School, where the MP expressed his desire for colourful, creative designs.

Designs need to be on A5, A4, or A3 paper or card, and should include the child's name, age, school year, and school name (or home address if home-educated).

Mr Robertson has asked schools to gather their students' artwork and send it to his office, with the deadline set for November 10.

Mr Robertson said: "This is the time to get creative and think about what you most enjoy about Christmas.

"Draw or paint whatever makes you feel Christmassy and you think people would like to get in the post.

"I was impressed with some of the ideas that were discussed like Father Christmas landing on Big Ben!

"My office will judge and choose three winning designs from different age groups which will be turned into three different versions of my official MP Christmas cards for 2024."

Send to the office of Joe Robertson MP, Shanklin Conservative Club, 6 Palmerston Road, Shanklin, Isle of Wight, PO37 6AU.
