Four primary school children have been commended for their efforts in designing a Christmas card for a Renfrewshire MSP.
Tom Arthur launched the competition earlier this year and invited primary school kids from across his Renfrewshire South constituency to submit their drawings.
Last week, he embarked on a whistle-stop tour around three local schools to celebrate the artistic talents of four young pupils who won prizes in the contest.
The winner of this year’s competition was Ava Falconer from P4 at Neilston Primary. Ava’s design, which displayed a festive and cosy atmosphere, has graced the front of Tom’s Christmas card this year.
Along with Ava, Tom met Robyn Foxon Walker, also from Neilston Primary, whose excellent design was highly commended by the judging panel.
Robyn shared that she had been working on her design since P3 – very much demonstrating her dedication and passion for art.
In addition to Ava and Robyn, two other students were highly commended for their contributions to the competition.
Isla Sheldon from St Anthony’s Primary and Harper Rooney from Auchenlodment Primary impressed the judges with their excellent interpretations of a cosy Christmas. Their designs and Robyn’s are featured on the back of Tom’s card.
The Renfrewshire South MSP said: “It was great to meet the winner and runners-up in my annual Christmas card competition. The talent and creativity displayed by these young artists is truly inspiring.
“My thanks go to each and every young person who took the time to enter the competition and made it such a difficult task to choose the winner.”
