The Mayor of Lancaster is asking primary school age pupils from across the district to design him a Christmas card.

The successful design will be sent to a number of important people on behalf of Lancaster City Council, including Her Majesty the Queen.

The winner will be welcomed to Lancaster Town Hall to meet the Mayor with nine of their friends and family where they will enjoy a tour of the Town Hall and be presented with a framed copy of their design.

For those children wishing to enter the competition their design should:

•       Be on a piece of A4 paper of any colour

•       Use strong colours but avoid using glitter

•       Not have things stuck on to it – they don’t copy well

•       Include their name, age, address and telephone number on the back

“I am looking forward to being able to see all the wonderful designs that will be produced by the children of our district for my Christmas card competition,” commented the mayor.

“I am sure that it will be a very difficult decision to make to choose a winner, but am very much looking forward to the challenge.”

• Designs should be sent to the Mayor’s Office, Town Hall, Lancaster, LA1 1PJ.  The closing date is Friday 2nd December 2016
