Young artists from schools across North Lanarkshire have brought festive cheer to the council’s annual Christmas card competition, impressing judges with bright colours, big imagination and plenty of seasonal spirit.
This year’s winners were announced at a warm and welcoming celebration hosted by St Thomas’s Primary in Wishaw. The winning designs will feature on Christmas cards sent far and wide, spreading a little bit of North Lanarkshire creativity across the country and beyond.
Provost Kenneth Duffy said: “Our pupils never fail to amaze. The standard was fantastic, and every entry brought its own touch of Christmas magic. A huge thank-you to St Thomas’s for putting on such a lovely event.”
Each winner received a festive goody bag filled with copies of their card, a personalised certificate, a framed print of their artwork and a £20 Amazon voucher.

• Jenna (S2) – Our Lady's High School, Cumbernauld
