Christmas Card Competition

The closing date is Friday 24th November. Please try and post your cards to us before this date, but feel free to reach out to the team if your card will be delayed. The winner will be announced on the 16th December, with the winner featured on the front cover of the Kid's Alive Christmas edition! 

Please post your cards to the following address in an A4 envelope: Events and Community, 1 Champion Park, London, SE5 8FJ.

Here is the freepost address for you to post your design free of charge: Freepost RUGC-XZAY-GRKG Supporter Services Unit, 3rd Floor, The Salvation Army, 1 Champion Park LONDON SE5 8FJ.

No fee to enter but if you'd like to make a voluntary donation to help other kids this Christmas, please go here.

We encourage you to get as creative as you'd like, but please make sure your design is A4-size. When sending in your design, please do not fold it, rather post it to us in an A4 envelope.

The winner receives a £100 voucher and their design will be used on Don't Send Me a Card and also featured as the front cover of the Kids Alive Christmas edition!

The two runners up each receive a £50 voucher

The winner in each age group will receive a £20 voucher

Unfortunately we are not able to accept entries via email as we will need to scan in the designs to upload them to Don't Send Me a Card. If you would like to keep your original drawing, please feel free to send in a colour photo copy. 

There are four different age categories to enter:

• under 7s
• 7-9s
• 10-12s 
• 13-16s

Yes, please ensure you have read through our T&C's carefully available here.

Absolutely, we'd love for schools to get involved! Your school can send in their festive cards altogether. Please ensure that every individual design includes the pupils name, age, address, and parents email address.

If we haven't answered your question here, please get in touch with us at challenge@salvationarmy.org.uk with the subject "Christmas Card Competition" and one of our team will be happy to help you!
