Christmas Card Competition 2024

Chief Constable Sarah Crew and Police Crime Commissioner Clare Moody are looking for creative young artists to help design this year’s official Christmas cards. 

This year’s Christmas card theme is: 12 days of policing at Christmas 

Children aged between 4 and 11 are asked to pick a number from the famous song and use it in a design to show policing during the Christmas period. If you’re entering with a group of people, try to pick different numbers so all the entries stand out! 

The competition officially opens on Monday 11 November 2024 and the final day for entries to be received is Wednesday 30 November 2024. 

Rules for artwork

All entries must be hand-drawn and must be received by the closing date of Wednesday 30 November 2024 (any entries received after the closing date will not be counted). 

The image should fit on one side of A4 landscape.
