With just over a month to go until Christmas, Luke Pollard the MP for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport has started taking submissions for his annual Christmas card competition.

He is asking the children of Plymouth to design his yearly Christmas Card. This year’s theme is hope and happiness. Luke will send out the electronic card to save on paper, but there will be a limited supply of cards printed, with one featured in Luke’s constituency office window in Frankfort Gate. Luke will also be sending one of the cards to HM The Queen.

There will be prizes for first, second and third places in this competition.

Luke said:

“Christmas means so much to families in Plymouth, and with COVID case rates rising many of us will still be worried about whether we will be able to see friends and family safely this year.

“This competition is a way to say thank you to the children who have continued learning and coped fantastically with the pandemic, to show Plymouth that we are all together in this, but also to think about our hopes for the new year and what brings us happiness.

“If you have a child of primary school age from Plymouth who you think would like to enter, please let them know!”

To save on paper, submissions should be emailed in to [email protected] by Tuesday the 23rd of November but you can also pop paper copies in to Luke’s Office, 13 Frankfort Gate, Plymouth, PL1 1QA.
