Festive Card Competition 2025 - Winners and Runners-Up

The Purple Mash Festive Card Competition gave children the chance to design the official 2Simple festive card on any festive theme they wanted. In less than 3 weeks we received over 8,000 entries from schools worldwide across four age groups, and a school staff category. Thank you to everyone who took part. Now, after much deliberation, our elves have chosen the winners... There was so much variety and talent on show and we really enjoyed reviewing your designs.

The competition allowed children across the world to submit their designs summarising what the festive period meant to them using the award-winning platform, Purple Mash by 2Simple. Children could enter one of four categories: 5 and Under, 8 and Under, 12 and Under, and Over 13. There was also a category for school staff to enter.

Our elves carefully reviewed each entry and drew up a shortlist of finalists from each age group, whittling the thousands of entries down to a handful of outstanding contributions. And now, from those shortlists they have selected the winners, who each receive 50 professionally printed copies of their card designs, a £20 Amazon voucher and a goody bag!

The Winners of the 2025 Festive Card Competition

Well done to our winners, and thank-you to all those who entered or supported children to create and submit their designs.

You can see all the winners and runners up in the below video - I'm sure you'll agree that all the designs are brilliant, and really showcase the time, thought and effort that has gone into the competition.

E-cards available

Not only has each winner won printed copies of their card, but we've transformed their designs into an e-card so everyone can share their creations far and wide, spreading the joy as they go. You can access the cards within the Festive Card area, where you can also use one of three different templates to create your own cards from scratch.
