Mayor’s Christmas Card Competition 2026

We’re inviting local artists aged 16 and over to enter our Christmas Card Competition for the chance to have their artwork featured on the Mayor’s official Christmas card this festive season.

Theme: Chippenham in the Festive Period

We are looking for artwork that captures the magic, warmth and community spirit of Chippenham at Christmas. Whether it’s a snowy street scene, sparkling festive lights, a community celebration, or a unique artistic interpretation of the season, we’d love to see how artists bring Chippenham to life during this special time of year.

The competition is open to anyone aged 16 and over, with no upper age limit, and entries in all artistic mediums are welcome.

As the winning artwork will be reproduced on the Mayor’s Christmas Card, entrants should note that all flat artwork should be no larger than A3 size (420mm x 297mm) should it need to be scanned at a suitable resolution.

Prizes

1^st Prize: Artwork featured on the Mayor’s official Christmas Card, both digitally and in print.

2^nd Prize: To be confirmed.

3^rd Prize: To be confirmed.

In addition, the top three entries will be shared on the Town Council’s social media.
