The annual London Borough of Ealing Christmas card design competition is back, and all school age children are invited to take part in a competition to design a Christmas card. The winning designs will be used by the leader of Ealing Council and its cabinet members, and senior council officers too – including the chief executive as their official cards this festive season.

Take part

The competition is open to anyone 18 or younger who attends a school in the borough.

The theme this year is ‘Christmas in our towns’ and whether you're inspired by the borough’s picturesque parks, iconic landmarks, or everyday moments with people that are special to you, there’s endless space for your creativity to flourish. So, grab your pens, paints and imagination – and help to make the council’s Christmas cards extra special this year.

How to enter

There are three age categories for the Christmas card competition:

• Six and under
• seven-11
• and 12-18 years.

To enter you need to send a photo or scanned image of your design by email to smilliew@ealing.gov.uk and make sure to include contact details of a responsible adult (parent, carer or teacher). You must state which age category you are entering into and include your full name, age and school.

Closing Date: 5pm, Sunday 16 November 2025
