A COLWYN Bay school boy’s royal-themed Christmas card design has landed him first prize in Clwyd West MS Darren Millar’s annual Christmas Card competition.

Every year, Mr Millar invites school pupils across his constituency to design a Christmas card which he sends out across the local area.

Every year there is a theme and for 2022 it was “The King”, and the contest attracted many entries, leaving the difficult task of selecting a winner.

Nine-year-old Lucas Mulley’s design was chosen, and was presented with an award at St Joseph’s School in Colwyn Bay.

After visiting the school to present the prize to Lucas, Darren said: “Lucas created a fantastic design of a lovely snowman wearing a crown on a postage stamp which my team and I were all drawn to.

“It was great to visit St Joseph’s School to thank Lucas and to present him his prize.

"It’s always tough to choose a winner and I want to thank all the children who took part in the competition this year – their pictures were brilliant and are helping to brighten up my office in the run-up to Christmas.

‘My Christmas card is currently being sent out across the local area soon and I’m sure that everyone who receives a copy will be impressed by Luca’s design."
