Enter our 2024 Children’s Christmas Card Competition!

Here at Cornish Cottage Holidays, we are delighted to once again be running our annual art competition, offering children across Cornwall the chance to design our 2024 Christmas card!

This year, in celebration of the RNLI’s 200th anniversary, we would like to invite you to get involved and design something festive with a ‘safety at sea’ twist!

One lucky competition winner will win art supplies worth £50 and a bundle of Christmas cards in their design, plus their school or setting will receive £200 for its art department!

• Please do not stick anything on to the entry.
• Please include your name, age and school on your entry form.

Competition Theme

In celebration of their 200th anniversary, we would love it if you could think about the RNLI as a theme, and create a card design that not only depicts Christmas and the local area, but also celebrates their tireless work, keeping people safe on our beautiful coastline.

Why not draw your local lifeboat with twinkling lights and a Christmas tree in the background? Or perhaps show RNLI volunteers in festive hats singing carols… be as creative as you wish!

Additional Information

PLEASE RETAIN YOUR ORIGINAL CREATION – should you win, we may need the original artwork to produce the Christmas card.
