Vetlife’s Christmas card design competition returns
The theme for this year's competition is 'Winter Wonderland'.

For the first time, adults can enter too.

Vetlife’s Christmas card design competition has returned for a third year.

Previously, the competition was open to children aged 14 and under. But this year, ‘by popular demand’, the competition is open to adults too.

This year’s theme is ‘Winter Wonderland’ and the entries will be judged by Vetlife president James Russell. The winning design will appear on cards sold on the Vetlife website to raise funds for the mental health charity.

Entries should be emailed to info@vetlife.org.uk with the subject line: ‘Vetlife Christmas Card Competition Entry’. The deadline is 24 October.
