As part of her work in her Chipping Barnet constituency in the run up to Christmas, Theresa Villiers MP has announced the winner of her 2017 Christmas card competition. Emma Canagalla, aged 8, and a pupil at Christ Church CE Primary School, submitted the winning entry to the MP’s competition.
The design has been used as Theresa’s Christmas card, which has been making its way to a variety of people, from the Prime Minister at No 10, to constituents, friends and family.
Theresa has invited Emma and her family to tea at the House of Commons, to congratulate her and her family in person on winning this year’s competition.
Speaking about this year’s competition, Theresa Villiers said “It was great that so many children entered my Christmas card competition this year. There were some really wonderful festive designs, and picking the winner was a difficult decision. I want to thank Emma Canagalla for her art work, and congratulate her on winning the contest. I hope to be able to welcome Emma and her family to Parliament soon. Congratulations and thanks to all of those who entered.”
