I’m delighted to announce the results in the competition to design the e-greetings card that I’ll send out in the run-up to Christmas

THE WINNING DESIGNS ARE BY:

• FIRST: LARA, AGE 8
• SECOND: OLIVIA, AGE 10
• THIRD: AYMAAN, AGE 6

ALL PICTURED ABOVE.

I think these beautiful entries all make such brilliant use of colour and paint a lovely seasonal picture of Brighton in the winter – I'll be writing to the winners this week to pass on my congratulations and thanks. There were so many amazing entries that I had to pick quite a few runners up too which I have been posting on my Facebook page - and will continue to do so until Christmas day. The standard of entries was so high and I thoroughly enjoyed looking through them all. There are some really talented young artists here in Brighton Pavilion and I’m pleased I get to showcase them – particular congratulations to Lara and thank you to everyone who entered!

Seasons greetings,

Caroline
