Wow, it’s been beautifully sunny, and so it might seem hard to imagine Christmas, BUT … can you help us with a design for a new Christmas Light for Witney Town Council’s Christmas lights display?
The competition is open to any child currently at primary school in Witney, and we also welcome entries from children enrolled in Witney community groups, such as Brownies, Beavers and others, as well as entries from primary age children resident in Witney.
The winning design will be turned into a super-size 1.5m x 1.5m light, which will be installed on the Town Hall this year as an integral part of the town’s Christmas display. The Town Council also displays some, still serviceable winning lights, from previous years.
Some tips for creating a good design:
- Fill the space with your Christmas themed design so that it touches the edge of the frame.
- Keep it simple so that it can easily be re-created in lights.
- Choosing to design something we don’t currently have will improve your chance of having your design selected. We have a bauble, Christmas pud, star, robin, penguin, candy cane and reindeer.
Entries can be submitted by email, post or delivered to the Town Council office. Download the Witney Town Council Christmas Light Competition 2023 template or you can simply draw a square on a sheet of A4 paper. Please submit your entries to: info@witney-tc.gov.uk
or Witney Town Council, Town Hall, Market Square, Witney, OX28 6AG.
THE CLOSING DATE IS FRIDAY 21ST JULY
