Christmas Card Winners Unveiled at Ceremony

The designer of Alyn and Deeside politicians’ Christmas card has been awarded at a festive prizegiving ceremony.

Diana Kushnir won Mark Tami MP and Jack Sargeant MS’s annual competition to design their festive e-card. The Ewloe Green Community Primary School’s excellent effort features a stylised local snow scene.

Diana’s winning artwork will be sent as an e-card to Prime Minister Keir Starmer and First Minister Eluned Morgan, as well as residents across Alyn and Deeside.

Winners from eleven schools were celebrated and awarded with prizes at the ceremony hosted by Mark Tami and Jack Sargeant at Toyota Manufacturing on Deeside Industrial Park today (Friday). They were Azalea Morris, Mountain Lane Community Primary School, Buckley, Daisy-Lea Challinor-Hughes, Ysgol Bryn Deva Community Primary School, Emily Metcalf, Ysgol Cae’r Nant, Roksana Mikuta, Golftyn Community Primary School, all Connah’s Quay, Charlie Teeson, Ysgol Parc y Llan Community Primary School, Treuddyn, Harvey Parry, Ysgol Croes Atti Glannau Dyfrdwy, Wiktoria Wawszczak, Venerable Edward Morgan School, both Shotton, and Jedidiah Silverson, St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School, Saltney.

Mark Tami MP said:

“It was very difficult to choose a winner from the work of such talented young artists,”

“We are very happy with Diana’s creative design and will be proud to send it out to Keir Starmer, Eluned Morgan and our friends across the constituency this festive season.”

Jack Sargeant added: “We’re grateful to pupils of the 11 schools who entered for taking part, and we hope they enjoyed this morning’s prizegiving. The standard really was incredibly high again this year.

“Thanks so much to our valued sponsors Toyota UK, Edwards Homes, Airbus and Chester Zoo. They allow us to provide such great prizes to our winners.”

In line with the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, this year’s overall winner will have their design produced as an e-card, to be kind to the environment. Using an ecard will cut out all the excessive paper used, and CO2 emitted by delivering the Christmas Cards.
