“Christmas of the future!” – Llanelli MP’s Christmas Card Design Competition Winners 2025 announced

Hundreds of pupils from schools across Llanelli have been working hard to submit entries to this year’s competition to design the official Christmas Card of the area’s Member of Parliament, Dame Nia Griffith.

Based on the theme of “Christmas of the Future”, children delighted the judging panel consisting of Natalie Powell (Jewellery Maker), Katy Lewis (Creative Artist & Ceramicist) and Claire Roberts (Nurse & Llangennech Scouts Administrator) with their colourful and imaginative creations.

After much consideration, competition winners have now been confirmed with Isla-Grace Dininno of Swiss Valley Primary picking up the top prize for the Key Stage One category and George Davies of Ysgol Gymraeg Brynsierfel victorious in the Key Stage Two equivalent.  Both their designs now feature on the front of cards that Dame Nia is sending out in Llanelli and Westminster.

Highly commended runners up positions were awarded at Key Stage One to Ruby Gwen Taylor and Neve Phillips (Swiss Valley Primary), Taliesin Nicholson (Ysgol Parc Y Tywyn) and Ali Ahmad (Ysgol Bryn Teg) and at Key Stage Two to Alaura Woulfe (Swiss Valley Primary), Ivy Chand (Pembrey Primary), Carys Evans (Ysgol Y Felin) and Dakota Hogan (Ysgol Bryn Teg).

Their artwork is now on display in Llanelly House until Christmas and the winning designs were also presented to Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP, Speaker of the House of Commons, in a special ceremony in London.

The winners receive a framed copy of their pictures, with cash prizes for their schools, and all winners and runners -up also receive a small gift of art materials to encourage them to keep drawing.

Dame Nia Griffith, Member of Parliament for Llanelli, said:

“It was great to see so many local children taking part in this year’s competition and wowing us all with their beautiful and optimistic designs on the theme of Christmas of the future.  Their talent and hard work made it an absolute pleasure to judge and really put us in a festive mood as Christmas approaches.”

“I would also like to thank the staff and teachers who took the time and effort to encourage pupils to take part, as well as the judges for their hard work and Llanelly House for hosting the display over the Christmas period.”
