The competition was promoted to local school children through the West Gippsland regional libraries and offered three age group categories. The top contenders in each category were presented with their prizes of cinema tickets in front of an audience of proud parents and friends.

1st place Georgia Townley; 1st place William Pryse; 1st place Eva Dent ;

2nd place Jasmine Batrouney; 2nd place Kiara Stevenson; 2nd place Kylie Enbom;

"This is the second year we have run the competition and it is a delightful way to add a very personal stamp to our Christmas message," said Cr Heather Bligh. "The children put so much effort into them and it’s very clear that we have some budding artists among them."
