In November, we launched our annual Christmas card competition, asking budding artists among our staff, members and service users to send in their entries to be in with a chance of having their design used as our Trust’s electronic card for 2017.
The judging panel for the cards was made up of our Chief Executive John Short, our Trust Chair Sue Davis, and Faheem Uddin, Lead Governor. We received more than 70 high quality entries, which were narrowed down to two winners and one runner up.
This year’s winner is David Jarrett, for his Christmas card featuring landmarks in Birmingham city centre. Our judges selected service users, Leena Gandhi’s colourful peacock card as the runner up. Ryan Bloomfield’s never eat yellow snow design was also highly commended.
The winning participants will receive high street gift vouchers and all of the cards will be available for Trust staff to send over the festive period via the Trust’s STAR cards system.
