Festive Card Competition 2023 - Winners and Runners-Up

Dec. 7, 2023

The Purple Mash Festive Card Competition gave children the chance to design the official 2Simple festive card on any festive theme they wanted. In less than 3 weeks we received over 13,000 entries from schools worldwide across three age groups. Thank you to everyone who took part. There was so much variety and talent on show and we really enjoyed reviewing your designs.

The competition allowed children across the world to submit their designs summarising what the festive period meant to them using the award-winning platform, Purple Mash by 2Simple. Children could enter one of three categories: Under 5s, under 8s and under 12s.

Our elves carefully reviewed each entry and drew up a shortlist of finalists from each age group, whittling the thousands of entries down to a handful of outstanding contributions. And now, from those shortlists they have selected the winners!

Included in the video below are some entries worth highlighting too!
