The town Mayors Christmas card competition winner has been announced
Whitby Town Council has announced the winner of this year’s Mayoral Christmas Card Competition, who is eight-year-old Olivia Owen-Taylor of West Cliff Primary School.
Olivia wins a book token for herself and one for her school. In addition, Olivia will be joining the Town Mayor, and singer-songwriter Alistair Griffin, on stage at the opening of Whitby Christmas Festival for the switch on of the Christmas lights.
The Town Mayor of Whitby, Councillor Linda Wild, launched her Christmas Card Competition in September, inviting young residents of Whitby and the surrounding area to submit a design on the theme of ‘A Family Christmas in Whitby’. The winning design is printed as the Mayoral Christmas Card and sent out to other councils, friends, and contacts across the world.
With almost 100 pictures to choose from Councillor Wild had to spend a long time considering each design before eventually selecting one overall winner. Councillor Wild said
“I was very excited in anticipating of the designs being submitted, and I was not let down. The standard this year was so high that making a decision was incredibly difficult. Each young artist had really considered the theme and put a great deal of effort into their picture.”
Councillor Wild was so delighted with the fantastic artwork submitted that she has also selected three designs to be awarded Highly Commended.
These are by Annie-May Lonsdale from Stakesby Academy
Brody Shaun Bartlett, also from Stakesby Academy,
and Ellie Rose Patton, a pupil at Airy Hill School.
There were also some fantastic designs submitted by pupils from East Whitby, Hawsker, Lythe, Fylingdales, and Ruswarp Schools, as well as Scarborough primary school.
The standard was so high that each design will be on display in the Pannett Art Gallery from Wednesday 24th November – Sunday 5th December 10.30am – 4.30pm and a digital copy of each design will be projected onto the gallery wall.
