**Natalie Elphicke MP’s Christmas Card Competition**
Dear Students, Parents, and Teachers,
Dover & Deal MP Natalie Elphicke has launched a Christmas Card competition for local primary-aged schoolchildren. The Christmas Card theme is the Three Kings who visit baby Jesus in the stable at Bethlehem.
The competition invites local children aged up to 11 to let their creativity shine by designing a festive Christmas card. The winning card will be Natalie’s official MP Christmas Card.
This year’s theme encourages young artists to depict the Three Kings – Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar as they visit the baby Jesus, bringing presents to him. This moment – with the kings in the lowly stable and Jesus in his crib among farm animals is one of the most memorable of the Christmas stories. It continues to feature in many Christmas plays every year.
Participants are encouraged to bring their unique artistic interpretations to life, capturing the magic and meaning of this timeless story.
Age Limit: up to 11 Years
Consent for Publication
By submitting a design to the competition, participants and their parents or guardians consent to the potential publication of their artwork in various mediums, including but not limited to the Christmas card, our official website, and social media channels. This allows us to celebrate and share the talent of our local children with the entire community.
