The competition, which was launched in September, called on budding young artists in local primary schools to design this year’s official Northern Ireland Assembly Christmas card. A staggering 3,000 entries were received, and Jodie Kernohan from Broughshane Primary School, Ballymena was highly commended for her card.

Nine-year old Emma Isherwood from Edwards Primary School, Castlederg claimed the top prize with her festive drawing of a robin.
