MAYOR’S ANNUAL CHRISTMAS CARD COMPETITION

This year’s Christmas card design competition turned up a few surprises!

Petersfield Town Mayor Cllr Peter Clist  and Mayoress  Linda Clist attended The Petersfield School in order to choose this year’s official design for the Town Mayor’s Christmas cards.

All three winners received printed copies of their designs.  It was later discovered that this year’s winning design was by Anna Lukash,  a Ukrainian student who had recently moved to the area following the devastation in her own country.  Anna’s design depicts two children building a snowman in the Square.

This year’s runner-up was  Ruby Issitt whose design included several elements such as a Rudolf reindeer standing on William III’s plinth and St Peter’s spire covered with a Santa hat.

Finally, this year’s additional ‘highly commended’ design came courtesy of Vega Coleman who painted geese in silhouette flying across a wintry moon.

A presentation was later made in front of  Head Teacher, Mr Marande,  when Cllr and Mrs Clist  also met the artists  and the head of visual arts Mr Leeson.

Almost a hundred of the winning card designs will be winging their way to everyone on the Mayor’s official Christmas list
