An exhibition will be held this weekend to showcase the designs created by schoolchildren across Nottingham as part of an MP's Christmas card competition. Lilian Greenwood, Labour MP for Nottingham South, tasked children with designing her Christmas card.
Nottingham Contemporary will host the free exhibition on Saturday and Sunday from 11am till 3pm. The festive designs and best in school entries will be on display and a free mince pie will be on offer after viewing the work.
The main winner of this year's competition was eight-year-old Zoe Roth, from South Wilford Primary School. Zoe and her family have won a trip to the Houses of Parliament as well as a £100 voucher.
