Traditional yuletide fare and modern outdoor favourites are to be the subject for this year’s Dubbo electorate kids Christmas card competition.

Primary school students from across the region are now being invited to submit drawings on the 2025 theme 'Your Christmas Feast' to local MP Dugald Saunders.

The winning entry will feature on Mr Saunders’ Christmas card, which will be delivered to thousands of households across the region.

“From prawns on the barbecue to roast turkey and all the trimmings, pavlova, pudding or even a sneaky bowl of lollies, Christmas is a time to celebrate the foods we love to share,” Mr Saunders said.

“I want to see how the kids of the Dubbo electorate imagine their ultimate Christmas feast... whether it’s big family banquets, backyard barbecues, or picnic spreads under the tree,” he added.

Entries are open to all primary school students who reside in the electorate, which includes the Narromine Shire, Dubbo, Wellington, Gulgong, and Mudgee regions.

The winning entry will receive a $200 gift voucher to the store of the student’s choice, while second place will receive a $100 gift voucher, with a $50 voucher for third.

Importantly, all entries must be A4 sized with no cotton, glitter, or anything stuck to the page, they must not be folded, and the artist’s name, age, and school should be clearly marked on the back of each entry.

Entries close at the end of October, so get cracking and get your entry in. Further details can be obtained from the Dubbo electorate office and on Mr Saunders' social media.
