2025 OAK Trust Christmas Card competition

 

Welcome to the OAK Trust Christmas Card Competition 2025! This year, we’re inviting our pupils to get creative and design a unique Christmas card for the chance to win a prize and have your card featured as the official Trust Christmas card.

Last year’s winning design featured a snowy scene with a variety of colour and texture which really brought the scene to life. Could yours be the next winning entry?

Tips for a successful design

  • Keep it simple and fun.
  • Be bold and bright.
  • Use plenty of colour, even if it’s snowing.
  • Keep writing to a minimum but be sure to include a festive greeting.

Prizes

  • The winning entry will be showcased on the Trust website, social media and will be sent out as the official OAK Christmas Card.
  • A class set of cards will be sent to the winning school
  • Amazon gift vouchers for the top three cards
