2023 Mayor's Christmas Card Design competition
The winner of the Mayor’s 2023 Christmas Card Design Competition has been announced – Ivy from Burnside Primary School!
An annual event, the 2023 Christmas Card Design Competition was open to Year 3 and 4 students from within the City of Burnside with the key theme being ‘What makes an Australian Christmas?’.
Mayor Anne Monceaux was delighted to present the awards during a ceremony in the Mayor’s Parlour earlier this week, with awards going to winner Ivy (Year 4) and runner up Jake (Year 3) from Burnside Primary School. Second runner up Chanmonique (Year 4) from Linden Park Primary School was unable to attend but was recognised for her beautiful artwork.
When designing her card, Ivy took inspiration from her favourite native Australian wildlife including kookaburras, koalas, rainbow lorikeets and more. Ivy said her favourite part of the drawing was the massive gum tree dressed up like a Christmas tree with colourful lights and decorations.
For winning the competition Ivy received a $100 gift voucher and special credit in the printed Christmas cards which use her design, while the two runners up each received a Regal Theatre Family Voucher and George Bolton Swimming Centre Family Pass.
You can visit the City of Burnside Civic Centre to view all 60 entries, which will be displayed until mid-January. See if you can pick your favourite!
Thank you to everyone who entered the competition this year!
