'Congratulations to Mason': Hendal pupil wins MP Jade Botterill’s Christmas card competition
Jade Botterill MP has announced the winner of her second annual competition to design her official Christmas card.
The Ossett and Denby Dale MP made a special visit to Hendal Primary School to award the prize to Year 6 pupil Mason, whose design featured a proud Yorkshire snowman, baubles, and Christmas trees.
Mason’s artwork will feature on Jade’s official Christmas card, which will be delivered across the constituency and Westminster – including to the Prime Minister and the King.
She also made a special mention to the runners up, including Hendal pupils Peter and Farina, as well as St Aidan CE Academy's Dougie and Skelmanthorpe Academy’s Stanley.
There were more than 350 entries from school children across the area with artwork including local landmarks, Christmas puddings, baubles, fireplaces, reindeer, and even a few Grinches!
All those taking part received a certificate of merit.
Jade said: “After the success of my Christmas card competition last year, I was so excited to see the entries from children across our area. This is fast becoming one of the best parts of my job.
“When I reviewed the entries, I was amazed by how much talent there is in our area. It made it so hard picking a winner.
“Congratulations to Mason, I am so glad his design will showcase the creativity of local children to people across the country, including the King himself.”
