All I want for Christmas is Moo!

The winner of the National Dairy Council's (NDC) corporate Christmas card competition is Mia Fitzgerald from Ballyfin National School, Ballyfin, Co Laois.

NDC launched a special competition this year inviting schoolchildren form all over Ireland to design this year’s NDC Christmas card.

Over 350 entries were received with the theme of festive dairy farming and there was a very high standard of entries from budding young artists all over the country.

Mia (10) and her teacher David McNabb have each won a €100 One4All voucher as well as a signed jersey by rugby international and NDC Ambassador, Garry Ringrose. The winning card design will also be promoted and featured across NDC’s social channels and in print and media.

Mia spent four hours designing her card using new art markers and colouring pens she got. She used these to do extra detail and loves to draw and paint in her spare time.
