This Christmas season, we are again developing a virtual card app on our website, which people can use to send free virtual festive cards created by the SEND community to family and friends.
Can You Help?
To be able to do this, we want YOUR help for the cover designs of our festive cards!
Please support our project by submitting some homemade artworks that we can use as a cover for the virtual cards.
Entries can be sent by posting a photo of your or your SEND child’s/ young person’s design at https://facebook.com/mpcfinfo, by posting it on Instagram and tagging us @manchesterparentcarerforum, or by sending it to us via email or WhatsApp. Please let us know of your child’s/ young person’s age when you send their design.
Card Design Competition
Once you’ve shared your design, it will show up on either our Facebook Community page or on our Instagram Tags. For those who send designs to us via email or WhatsApp, we will post the artwork on social media on your behalf.
We will have two categories for this year’s competition:
- Younger Children : Those aged 11 and below.
- Older Children and Young People : Those aged 12 and up.
The best three entries for each category will be selected by a panel of independent judges.
Submissions will be accepted until 12pm on Saturday, 30 November.
Winning designs will be used for our virtual festive cards. You/ your child will be acknowledged in the cover image as well as on our website and social media, and winners will be given a £10 Asda or Amazon voucher.
We are pleased to announce that, thanks to the SEND Local Offer, we can now print a few copies of the winning card designs. 🙂
The cards will be given away at the next Local Offer Drop-in and, while supplies last, at some of the December SEND Community Offer events.
Sample Festive Card Design
Here’s an example of how the virtual festive cards will look like:

We would like to thank M Khan and family for sharing this design with us.
A huge thanks as well to the SEND Local Offer for supporting this project.
