The winner of Bath MP Wera Hobhouse’s annual Christmas card competition, which invited local schoolchildren to get involved, has been revealed.

11-year-old Mollie-George Appleton, who attends Widcombe Junior School, was chosen as the winner of this year’s competition.
Wera Hobhouse launched her annual Christmas card competition in October, inviting children to submit their designs inspired by the theme “Christmas in Bath”.
Mollie-George’s design captured what it means to be entranced by the magic across Bath at Christmas time.
Wera also sent a special mention to Jaxon, aged 7, of St Michael’s Junior School in Twerton, whose colourful depiction of Bath’s Christmas Market earned him the runner-up award.

Mollie-George’s artwork will feature in Wera’s personal Christmas card and land on doormats all over the country and beyond this festive season.
The MP commented: “I just loved Mollie-George’s stunning creation, with its joyful, popping colours, attention to detail, and extremely high-quality execution. And I had such fun spotting all the Bath references included in the design!
“Congratulations to Mollie-George, and thank you to all the children who entered. It was wonderful to see all your amazing pictures.
“I cannot wait to share the young talent Bath has to offer through my Christmas cards.”
