Competition Theme

At Carbis Bay Holidays, we’re pleased to now be a part of a B Corp accredited company. This recognition highlights our dedication to making a positive contribution to people, the planet, and the communities we serve.

We encourage you to consider this as your theme and create something that not only celebrates Christmas, but also reminds us of Cornwall’s beauty and the need to preserve and protect this remarkable region.

Additional Information

Please keep your original creation safe – if you win, we may need the original artwork to produce our Christmas cards.

We plan to feature the winner’s name, age, and school on the Christmas card. We’ll also announce the winner on social media and in the press. It’s vital to have consent from the parents or guardians of every child participating. In cases where consent isn’t given, please make a note on the entry form if the child has written their name.
