Children who entered a competition to design the official Christmas card for Bath-based housing association Curo have been presented with their prizes at an exhibition of their artwork.
Anda, Ruby (0-8 winner), Curo CEO Victor da Cunha and Patricia Woodman
The overall winner was nine-year-old Anda from Snow Hill in Bath, whose design featured a winter wonderland of colourful houses and elves.
Anda won a £50 Love to Shop voucher and her design is being used as the official Curo Christmas card this year.
Curo also chose designs from each of the three age categories, with each winner receiving a £25 gift voucher, certificate and framed picture of their design.

In the 0-8 age group, two winners were chosen: Ruby from Odd Down in Bath and Maezee of Whitchurch, Bristol.
The winner of the 9-15 age group was Ruby who lives in Larkhall, Bath and the 16+ category was won by Patricia Woodman who lives in Curo sheltered housing in Saltford.
This is the second year Curo has held this competition which is organised by Curo Accounts Manager Emma Newman. She said: “Thanks to everyone who entered this year. Two local schools, St Saviours in Larkhall and St Johns in Oldfield Park, took part and we also added a grown-ups category this year, so we had a fantastic selection of designs to judge.
“Picking our winners was really hard – we loved all the designs!”
All the winning designs and a selection of the many other entries are being featured on Curo’s Facebook Page (fb.com/curogroup) and on display at Curo’s offices in Bath until 11 January 2019.
Everyone who entered is also invited to The Maltings to collect their framed picture and a chocolate selection box to say thanks for taking part.
