Creative six-year-old’s colourful snowman wins Nicol & Co’s Christmas card competition

A snowman dressed in a colourful hat and scarf and surrounded by festive lights was the winning design for Nicol & Co’s 2024 Christmas card competition.

The imaginative creation by six-year-old Isla-rose Rossiter, who goes to Chawson First School in Droitwich, has beaten scores of other entries to win the prize offered by the leading Worcestershire estate agency.

Isla-rose will now pick up £300 worth of books for her school’s library, along with 30 copies of the card for her own family’s use, plus a Santa’s sack of goodies worth £50. 

Matt Nicol, managing director Nicol & Co, which has branches in Droitwich, Malvern and Worcester, explained that this was the ninth consecutive year that his estate agency had asked local children to design its company Christmas card.

The competition ran throughout late November and early December, with the company’s Facebook followers deciding on the winner via their online approvals. 

Mr Nicol said: “We were thrilled to see Isla-rose win the competition, as this was such an intricate and colourful design for a six-year-old.

“It was lovely to see all the colourful entries that we received, and as always it was thrilling to watch Nicol & Co’s Facebook followers decide on the best one with their ‘likes’ and ‘shares’.

“We now look forward to sending out our Christmas card to all our customers and partners across Worcestershire, which is something Isla-rose and her family can be very proud of.

“We’re also delighted that Isla-rose gets to enjoy a prize for herself, and that Chawson First School can now invest in some new books for all its children.”
