The Mayor of Chelmsford’s Christmas Card Competition

The Mayor of Chelmsford is looking to give her 2020 Christmas card a fresh look. So, she is inviting the residents of Chelmsford to help by creating festive designs inspired by the theme of ‘Family’.

The competition is open to residents of all ages and closes at midnight on Saturday 31 October.

There are three categories to enter:

• drawing
• photograph
• poem

You can enter three times, submitting one entry into each category. If you submit multiple entries into one category, they will not qualify. You can find out more by reading the terms and conditions.

After the competition closes, the Mayor and Deputy Mayor will select their favourite design from each category. We will then produce two Christmas cards. One Christmas card will feature the winning photograph, while the other will feature the winning drawing. Both cards will include the winning poem inside.

The prizes include:
