Congratulations to Annabel from The Link Secondary School!

Annabel’s beautiful Christmas scene, Christmas Eve, was chosen by artist and designer Louise Pasquill as the winning design in this year’s Trust Christmas Card Competition.

We received a record number of entries from students across all regions and College Centres, and the standard was incredibly high. Louise said:

“What a fabulous challenge you gave me this year! The most festive, heart-warming and talented collection of finalists ever, and I could only pick one winner.”

Louise praised Annabel’s design for its storytelling and festive detail:

“The Christmas elf offering a gift of a Christmas flower captures the anticipation of Christmas Eve perfectly – from the sleigh flying high over the snowy North Pole to the twinkling lights and message of joy.”

Annabel, aged 13, was presented with an Amazon gift voucher, a certificate, and a box of cards printed with her winning design. Her artwork has also been turned into a digital Christmas card, sent to stakeholders and supporters by the Executive Senior Leadership Team.
