I am pleased to announce the winning design in the annual Christmas Card competition I run alongside Rachael Hamilton MSP.
This year's winning entry came from Blair Murphy, who is in Primary 7 at Wilton Primary School.
He was presented with a golf putting set and an art set, while the runners up received £50 of Amazon vouchers. All of the awards were kindly sponsored by Scottish Power.
The runners up in the 2023 competition included: Grace Wilson, who is in Primary 3 at Philiphaugh Community School; Conor Young, a Primary 7 pupil at Wilton Primary School; and Elle Allison, a Primary 4/5 student at Philiphaugh Community School.
Please see my joint statement on the competition here -
John Lamont MP and Rachael Hamilton MSP said: "We are delighted to announce the winner of our annual Christmas Card competition.
"Thank you to everybody who took part. We had a really tough time picking between all the amazing entries.
"Well done to the winner Blair for producing such a fantastic design and congratulations to all the runners-up.
"The card with Blair's design has been sent to The King, the Prime Minister, and lots of households across the Scottish Borders."
