We asked for creative and original artwork that would be printed and become our annual Christmas Cards. This year we received over 90 entries from 35 different services.
To help with the shortlisting, we held a judging day at our head office in London, and were joined by Cygnet staff, service users, experts by experience and carers. It was a festive occasion with all in agreement that it was tough to choose their favourites! The shortlist was shared with more service users, residents and carers and the scores were totalled to reveal our winners.
The artwork entered was all fantastic, we had lots of glitter, paint and pom poms. We are now very pleased to announce our winners…
Our 3 winning designs are from the services below:
- 1st place – Tabley House Nursing Home in Cheshire
- 2nd place – Unicorn Ward, Cygnet Hospital Sheffield
- 3rd place – Thornfield Grange in County Durham
As the scores were so close, we are also featuring a selection of entries on the back of each card. Artwork from the following services were selected and are our runners up:
- North East Supported Living
- Bridge Hampton at Cygnet Hospital Bury
- Yorkshire Supported Living
- Redlands
- No.12 High Street
- Outwood
- The Orchards
- Cygnet Fountains
- Tupwood Gate Nursing Home
Thank you and congratulations to everyone that entered and all the staff that supported!
