Every year Somerville creates a new Christmas/seasonal card that is sent to many of our alumni in the UK and overseas. This year we’d like to ask you to design it.

Our Christmas Card Competition will be open to all Somerville students. The lucky winner will receive £50 and their original design on the official College card. The design must be an original work of art (not including photographs and should not include any text): a drawing, painting or etching and no smaller than A5.

The theme should be connected in some way to ‘Somerville, and Seasons’ Greetings’.

Please send your entries (original or as an attachment in an email) to Tamara in the Principal’s Office (principals.office@some.ox.ac.uk) by the closing date of Sunday 15th November. We hope you will get involved in this unique opportunity and look forward to seeing your entries.
