The Farmers’ Union of Wales has revealed the winning designs for its Christmas card design competition ahead of the Winter Fair. Children from primary schools across Wales had been invited to submit a farming themed Christmas card design in aid of the DPJ Foundation, the FUW’s current Presidential charity.
The competition was split into two categories – English and Welsh designs. The English category was won by Layla Williams, 10 years old, from Llanbister Primary School, Llandrindod Wells. The Welsh category was Life Taranenko, 9 years old, from Dôlafon School, Llanwrtyd Wells.
FUW President Glyn Roberts said:
“The competition was a roaring success once again and has attracted hundreds of entries from across Wales. The standard was very high and presented the judges with a tough task when it came to choosing the winners.
“I would like to thank every single child who entered the competition and to tell them that without their participation the contest would not have been such a success. I would also like to express my gratitude to the staff at the schools up and down the country that assisted the FUW in the running of the competition.
“It gave children in urban and rural areas of Wales an opportunity to connect with the farming industry and express their thoughts in a creative and colourful way, showing why #FarmingMatters. I believe it is vital that we as farmers maintain a strong link with young people so that they understand the way that food is produced in this country.”
The winners of the competition will receive their prizes at the FUW stand at the Winter Fair at 10.30am on Monday 28 November.
The cards can be purchased either from the FUW’s head office by calling 01970 820820 or from respective FUW county offices.
Here at the FUW we pride ourselves on the grassroots connection we have with our farmers. We have a democratic and local structure, which mean members influence FUW policy and are the core of the Union.
