A PUPIL from Queen Elizabeth’s School in Crediton has been named the runner-up in a Christmas card design competition.

The pupil, Lisa, created an atmospheric Snowy Landscape design, which was judged second in the Ted Wragg Trust Christmas Card Competition.

A talented Year 5 pupil from Marine Academy Primary in Plymouth scooped the first prize in the competition, triumphing over entries submitted by pupils from 18 schools across Devon.

Hope impressed judges with her striking Candy Cane design, created on a crisp white background and decorated with festive holly. Her artwork will now feature on the Trust’s official Christmas card for 2025.

Third place went to Edith from Isca Academy in Exeter for her detailed Christmas Pudding lino print.

The winning design has been reproduced as the Trust’s official printed card, while the first and second place designs have also been turned into digital cards to share with students, families, and partners across the region.

This year the competition was judged by a panel including artist Becky Bettesworth, with the winner receiving a Hobbycraft voucher and the runners up chocolate to enjoy.

Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust said: “Well done to Hope, Lisa and Edith for their wonderful designs which are now featured on our official Christmas cards; I’m looking forward to sharing their artwork on my Christmas cards this year!

“We are incredibly proud of all our students who entered, it's been fantastic to see the creativity of our young people shine through.”

Students, staff and families across the trust of schools have been busy spreading festive joy in their communities through carol concerts, community dinners, craft fairs and support for local foodbanks.
