A primary school pupil's festive design is set to be sent to King Charles III.
Nusrat Ghani, MP for Sussex Weald, has announced the results of her 2024 Christmas card competition, which invited primary school pupils across the constituency to submit designs based on the theme "Favourite Christmas Songs.".
More than 100 entries were received.
The winner of this year's competition is Suki, a Year 6 pupil from Framfield Church of England Primary School, whose colourful picture of Jingle Bells will feature on the front of Ms Ghani's Christmas card.
The card will be delivered to nearly 2,000 recipients, including residents, businesses, and charities in Sussex Weald and nationwide, as well as King Charles III.
The runners-up are Jessica, Year 5, from All Saints' & St Richard's Church of England Primary School in Heathfield, and Emily, Year 5, from Mark Cross Church of England Primary School.
A special commendation has also been awarded to Vanya Serevetnyi, Year 6, at Framfield Church of England Primary School, whose design featured the Ukrainian Father Christmas, Micolie.
Ms Ghani said: "A huge thank you and well done to all Sussex Weald pupils who entered my Christmas card competition and to their teachers who took the time to take part with their class.
"The Christmas card competition has been a highlight of my seasonal activities since its first launch in 2015 and choosing the winner is always an incredibly difficult task.
"There were so many fantastic designs this year, but it was the outstanding artwork of Suki, Emily, Jessica and Vanya that stood out for me, depicting our favourite Christmas songs and also representing the traditions of Ukrainian families living in Sussex Weald.
"The card, featuring all four designs, is now making way to hundreds of recipients across the constituency, nationwide and also abroad."
