Humberside Police launches annual Christmas card design competition

Humberside Police are asking children and young people to take part in their annual Christmas card design competition.

The force says the design should not only be festive but it should convey the theme of 'kindness is the key.

Chief Constable Lee Freeman, explained:

“I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone for the kindness they’ve shown this year, to each other as well as to our officers and staff. We know it’s been an extremely challenging year for everyone and it’s really important we continue to encourage good citizenship, checking in on your neighbours while adhering to social distancing guidance.

“I’m incredibly proud of our community and the incredible acts of kindness we’ve witnessed and experienced, helping our communities stay connected while we all keep safe. We want to reinforce this message at Christmas and celebrate the kindness we’ve seen. I can’t wait to see what you come up with.”

There are two age categories, 9-years and under and age 10-14.

A winner for each category will be chosen and receive a hamper and a message from the Chief Constable with the overall winning design used to create the Chief Constable’s official Christmas card for 2020.

The closing date for entries is 26 November 2020.
