State Member for Euroa Annabelle Cleeland, has launched her annual Christmas card competition, sparking creativity among hundreds of local students.
Ms Cleeland's yearly tradition encourages students to showcase their favourite aspects of the region through festive card designs.
With all schools now receiving information about the competition, hundreds of designs have begun to reach Ms Cleeland ahead of the festive season.
“I want to thank all of the wonderful children across the region who have already sent through their designs,” she said.
“Our young students are truly incredible artists, and I have already been so impressed by the drawings coming through.
“Whether it be pictures of Santa or a sunny barbecue with family, the designs are showing the many different ways that we can celebrate Christmas in our region.
“The students can take inspiration from a range of places and facets of life in our electorate, including our agriculture industry, waterways, and other natural wonders such as our native flora and fauna.”
Last year’s winner, Nagambie Primary School student Sarah Luff encapsulated the iconic Australian summer in a beautiful and festive way.
Each school's winning design will grace Ms Cleeland's Christmas cards and earn prizes, while the top regional artist will see their creation featured on the card's cover.
Winners are expected to be announced by Ms Cleeland in the coming weeks.
