After reviewing hundreds of creative entries from primary school pupils across the Skipton and Ripon constituency, Julian and his team selected Alfie, age 9, from Settle Church of England Primary School as this year’s winner. Alfie’s festive design, featuring a beautifully crafted Christmas bauble, will be on the cover of Julian’s official Christmas card, sent to recipients in Westminster and throughout the constituency.
In addition to the winning entry, the following designs by this year’s talented runners-up will also feature inside the card:
- Annabelle, age 10, from Giggleswick Primary School
- Isabelle, age 8, from Ripon Cathedral Church of England Primary School
- Reuben, age 7, from Kettlewell Primary School

Commenting, Julian said: "I am pleased to announce that Alfie has won this year’s Christmas card competition with his outstanding bauble design. With so many fantastic submissions from children across the constituency, the decision was incredibly tough, and I want to thank every pupil who participated.
"There has been a clear display of creativity in this year’s entries, and I am delighted that Alfie’s artwork will take centre stage on my Christmas card, alongside the fantastic designs by Annabelle, Isabelle, Reuben, and Emily."
