The winner of this year’s Kids Alive! Christmas Card Competition has been unveiled.

The contest, now in its fourth year, asked readers to design a card to use on the e-card platform Don’t Send Me a Card, an environmentally friendly way to send seasonal greetings while supporting the Army’s work.

The overall winner was Natalie, 12, whose picture of a snow-filled town square invited everyone to have a cosy Christmas, as we show kindness and warmth to others.

The runners-up were Rabeea, 15, and Sophie, 9. Other winners included Otto, 5, Vasile, 7, Martha, 11, and Adam, 13.

They all received vouchers for The Entertainer and Natalie’s card was the front cover of the Kids Alive! 7 December issue.
