Kenilworth mayor looking for young budding artists to design his 2020 Christmas card

The Mayor of Kenilworth has launched a competition to design the 'Mayor of Kenilworth's 2020 Christmas Card'.

Cllr Richard Dickson, the mayor, officially launched the competition last Friday.

There will be four different variants of the card which will be sent by to key organisations in the town, as well as in the Warwick district and across the county.

The cards will also be sent to Kenilworth’s twinned towns in France, Germany and Italy.

The competition is open to all residents of Kenilworth who are aged 18 and under.

Entry forms can be obtained from theKenilworthCentre in Abbey End carpark and also from the Kenilworth Town Council offices in Jubilee House, Smalley Place.

Cllr Richard Dickson, Mayor of Kenilworth for 2020/21, said: "In my recent contact with young people in Kenilworth, I’ve been hugely impressed by their creativity so I know that this year, especially with the impact of Covid-19 on the town, there’ll be some very high quality and original entries.

"I’m very grateful to the support of Emmerson Press who will be printing the cards.

"This is a great opportunity to send a powerful message about what makes Kenilworth special."

The first entry to the competition has already been received from Emily de Freston-Jones, aged six.

Entries need to be submitted by October 31 and the four winning designs will be chosen by November 6.

For prizes the winning designers will each get a small supply of the cards and will also be invited to tea and cake with the Mayor at one of the town’s independent cafes.
