Jess Brown-Fuller, Member of Parliament for Chichester, has announced the winner of her 2025 Christmas card competition for local children of primary school age.

After receiving so many excellent entries from young people across the constituency, Jess invited Chichester based artist Louise Duggan to join her at Chichester Library ahead of her advice surgery to help select a shortlist of four designs for the public vote.

Jess said it was “a real challenge” to narrow the entries down, as the standard of artwork from local children was so high.

The four shortlisted designs were then shared on Jess’s social media accounts and opened up to a public vote, with residents asked to like their favourite. As Jess told followers when launching the vote, she had received “such beautiful entries” that she wanted to hand “the responsibility to you, the constituents, to choose your favourite”.

After a fantastic response, the winning design is by Nora, Year 5, Kingsham Primary School, who secured 452 votes. Nora’s artwork will now be printed by a local print company and used as Jess Brown-Fuller MP’s official Christmas card, sent to community groups, charities and organisations she has worked with over the past year.

Jess Brown-Fuller MP said:

“I am absolutely delighted to congratulate Nora on winning this year’s Christmas card competition. Her design is joyful, bright and really captures the spirit of the season.

I also want to say a huge thank you to every child who took part, to their teachers and parents for encouraging them, to local artist Louise Duggan for helping me with the very tough job of shortlisting, and to everyone who took the time to vote. This has been a real community effort and I am so proud of the creativity of young people here in Chichester.”

Jess also paid tribute to the other three finalists, Robyn, Anna and Alisa, all local primary school children, whose impressive designs made the final shortlist. Their artwork will be displayed in her constituency office and shared on her social media channels in the run up to Christmas.
