Provost reveals winners of Chrismas card contest
THE winners of the Provost’s C h r i s t m a s c a r d competition have been announced. Provost Cameron, of Renfrewshire, has selected three school pupil’s across Scotland to have their artwork made into Christmas cards.
Harleen from St James Primary in Renfrew, Lily Jane from Heriot Primary in Paisley, and Alexander from Houston Primary in Houston were selected by Provost Cameron from thousands of entries.
Each winner will have their cards professionally printed and sent around the world.
The winners also got the chance to switch on the Christmas lights as part of Renfrewshire’s Christmas events.
Lily Jane, who switched on the lights in Paisley, said: “I was really surprised and excited to win the provost’s competition.
“When I found out I would be switching the Christmas lights on I felt so lucky I couldn’t wait for my friends to come and celebrate with me.”
The Provost’s Christmas Card competition is an annual competition, with all submitted cards being sent out to elderly residents across Renfrewshire this Christmas.
Provost Cameron said: “Selecting
my official Christmas cards is something I look forward to every year and I always love seeing the designs that are sent in.
“This year I was looking for winter wonderland- themed cards and all the entries were fantastic. It was a tough choice, but three designs really stood out.
“I hope Harleen, Lily Jane and Alexander enjoy seeing their designs come to life and that they each had a brilliant day out with family and friends at one of our Christmas events.
“The competition will run again next winter so keep an eye out on my social media channels to find out more information on how to enter nearer the time.”
