Northampton MP launches Christmas card design competition

Lucy Rigby, MP for Northampton North, is calling on all primary school children in her constituency to help her spread some magic this Christmas by submitting designs for her Christmas card.

The winning design will be featured on the front of her official Christmas card, which is sent to hundreds of individuals, organisations, and community leaders in Northampton and across the country.

Entries will be judged by Lucy herself and David Summers, editor of the Northampton Chronicle and Echo. They will select a winner from each participating school, and an overall winner from these finalists will have their design used on the card.

Lucy Rigby says: “This is a wonderful opportunity for pupils to showcase their creativity and help spread some seasonal cheer across our constituency. I’m looking forward to judging entries with David and seeing the winning design in shops and charities around Northampton!”
