First Minister Carwyn Jones is inviting primary school children to get creative and design his official 2016 Christmas card.
This was published under the 2016 to 2021 administration of the Welsh Government
Children from Years 3 and 4 are being asked to submit their bilingual entries by Friday 11 November 2016.
The winning card will be chosen by the First Minister and used as his official Christmas card, which will be sent across Wales and the world. The successful young artist will also be invited to the Senedd to meet the First Minister and will receive a signed, framed copy of their winning entry.
The First Minister said:
“I am calling all Wales’ budding young artists to reach for their colouring pencils, crayons and felt-tip pens and design my official Christmas card.
“I look forward to seeing all the artistic contributions – I am sure they will bring me much festive cheer.”
