See who won £100 in the Star's Christmas card competition!

This year, we once again ran our famous Christmas card competition – and we were truly wowed at the sensational designs that have been flooding our inbox over the past few weeks.

The annual Christmas card competition has become a staple in the Ipswich Star’s calendar, and we look forward to seeing our young readers flex their creative muscles – and you did not disappoint!

We had plenty of votes come in to help us select a winner for both the Ipswich Star and the East Anglian Daily Times. 

Although picking a favourite was a difficult feat, we can now reveal that the Ipswich Star’s winner is Arthur Race. 

When Arthur realised he had won, he said: 'What? No way?' (Image: Hannah Race) We are loving Arthur's design, with this very dapper snowman enjoying the snow.

Well done, Arthur!

Arthur was thrilled to be named as the Ipswich Star’s winner – and to be presented with a voucher for £100 at Smyths Toys, which we hope will be the perfect early Christmas present.

His proud mum, Hannah Race, thanked everyone who had voted for her little boy.

“Thank you so much!  I have one very, very happy little man!” she smiled. 

“When I told him, he said, ‘What? No way? I’m so excited. Thank you, thank you, thank you!’”

We would like to join Arthur and thank everyone who has taken the time to share a design with us, and to help us choose a winner. We truly could not do it without you!
