  Christmas Card Competition

  Great Driffield Radio has today launched their competition for children in the local area to design their official Christmas Card this year.
  This year they have teamed up with Flamingo Land to offer an amazing prize to the winning child and another great prize to the school they attend. Entries are open to anyone aged 16 and under.
  The winning design will feature on the front of the Great Driffield Radio Christmas Card which they will be sending to our clients and friends of the station.
  
  The person with the winning design wins a £50 ‘Discover Driffield’ voucher, which can be spent at loads of local shops in Driffield and the winner’s school will win £300 worth educational supplies.
  
  If your child does complete a design it should be handed in to the school office. The competition closes on Friday 24th November and they will announce the winner on air on Wednesday 29th November and will be in contact with the winner too.
  
  We’re looking forward to seeing some great designs!
