Primary school pupils across Bath are being invited to showcase their creativity as Wera Hobhouse, Liberal Democrat MP for Bath, launches her 2025 Christmas card competition.
This year’s theme is A Bath Christmas, encouraging children to capture the festive spirit of the city in their own artistic style. The winning design will be printed and used as the Bath MP’s official Christmas card, sent to hundreds of recipients across the region and beyond.
Entries can be created on A4 or A5 paper and submitted either by email to email hidden; JavaScript is required with the subject ‘Christmas Card Competition’, or by post to 31 James Street West, Bath, BA1 2BT. The deadline for submissions is Thursday 21 November.
Mrs Hobhouse is encouraging pupils to include a festive message within their designs, such as ‘Season’s greetings!’ or ‘Happy holidays!’.
Last year’s competition was won by Tilly Davey from Widcombe Junior School, whose colourful and imaginative artwork was chosen as the MP’s official card for 2024.
Wera Hobhouse said, “Bath is full of hundreds of talented young artists who I know will do a brilliant job of capturing the magic of Christmas in our city.
“As art is one of my biggest passions, I am always inspired by the imagination of our young artists. This competition is the perfect opportunity to showcase these skills, and I can’t wait to see how our budding young artists bring their favourite bits of Bath to life on the page.”
