Council Christmas Card Design – School Competition

This year’s Dumfries and Galloway Council Christmas Card has been designed by Hannah Harvey, who is in primary 7 at Dunscore Primary School. Under the watchful eye of partnership headteacher John Carter, the children of Dunscore and Moniaive Primary’s got involved in designing the Christmas Card for this year.

Judging was carried out last week by Council Leader Gail Macgregor, who paid a visit to both schools, cast her eye over the cards and chatted to the budding young artists about their designs. Gail praised the efforts and imagination of all the entries. She said:

“I’d like to congratulate all the children who submitted entries. We felt it was important for the card to come from our community, and that’s exactly what’s happened. The variations of designs really caught my eye and it’s clear that the children of Dunscore and Moniaive Primary’s certainly have a keen eye for art and design. There could only be one winner though, and well done to Hannah. The finalised card looks fantastic and that’s due to your wonderful design.”

The card has been designed digital-only this year to save paper and waste, as part of our Council’s commitment to cut carbon emissions.

On behalf of the Council, have a wonderful festive period and all the best for 2024.
