Welcome to the 2024 Christmas Jumper Decorating Competition!
Get out the glue and glitter, its our 5th annual Christmas competition!
This years shape – Christmas Jumper!
If you would like your kids to have a go, call into Bottom Shop and collect an MDF Jumper blank, there is no charge for these, 1 per child until we run out. All we ask is for the Childs name and age so we have a rough idea of how many from each age group to expect. If you’re a big kid (16+) and would like to have a go, that’s good too, however, we would like to see a donation go into the St. Columb Christmas Lights tin for each blank collected. Once you have your blank, entry into the competition is completely free.
Everyone loves a good Christmas jumper so let’s see what you can do! Decorate your jumper any way you wish! Once they are done, take a photo just like the example above and email to entry@pgbm.co.uk ensuring that you have your Childs name & age in the message. We will then upload it into the online gallery of the correct category as we receive them
There are 4 age categories: ages 5 & under, ages 6 – 10, ages 11 – 15 and adults (16+) & this year we also have a Guest category for our local YFC members.
From Midday on the 21st December you, your Mum, Brother, Great Uncle Fred, anyone that wants to can pick the one they like the best, and from each category the one with the most votes by 2pm Christmas day will be the winner! Votes will only count once they have passed email verification.
For the 5th year, there has been excellent local support, thanks to Andrew Hucklesby for providing the example, and if you get the chance, be sure to say cheers to the people below who have all chipped in with a prize to make this happen!
For the 5 & unders, Kelly over at The Birds Of Prey Centre has generously donated a group ticket for a session in their brand new Atlantic Playbarn for the lucky winner and 7 of their friends.

For the 11 – 15s, The Screech Owl Sanctuary & Animal Park have generously donated a family ticket for up to 4 people to enter the park and see the amazing work they do caring for their animals and the rehabilitation that many have benefited from over the years as they’ve passed through their care.
