Childrens' Christmas Cover Competition

Each year children under the age of 11, or still at Primary School, are invited to take part in a small competition to design the cover of the Parish Magazine for the December Issue.  Judging is normally undertaken by the Art Club and the winner and runner up in each of the two age groups (under 6 and 7-11) receive a prize.  The best of the two is then selected, again by the Art Club as the front cover.  The other winner has their entry printed inside the magazine.

Cover competition winning entries were:

2005 4		2006  4
2007 4		2008 4	s Your picture could be here

The 2007 competition subject was "Christmas Eve". Watch out for the September 2008 Parish Magazine for full entry details.  Entry restricted to residents within the Parish Magazine catchment area (Upper Hardres, Bossingham & Stelling Minnis).
