Winner of Priti’s Christmas card competition revealed
Witham MP Priti Patel visited Acorn Academy in Witham to reveal the winning design of her annual Christmas card competition.
Priti was extremely impressed by the talent of the children who submitted entries, and after a very tough time judging between a number of excellent designs, picked the winning entry from Izzabella Arienzo, age 6 and a student Acorn Academy. During her visit to the school to meet Izzabella, Priti presented her with the winners certificate and a prize, and thanked her for her wonderful Christmas card entry.
Izzabella’s card depicts a traditional Christmas scene with three snowmen adorned with traditional carrot noses and festive red woolly hats.
Priti said “Thank you to all of the children who took the time to submit entries to my Christmas card competition this year. It was a tough decision to pick just one winner as they were all so wonderful. However, there was one design in particular which stood out to me whilst reviewing all the entries, which was Izzabella’s painting of three snowmen in a traditional Christmas scene. I want to thank Izzabella for submitting her artwork, and I hope that she continues to pursue her artistic talent which is now for all to see as the cover image on my Christmas card for this year. I look forward to next year’s competition entries and I wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
