West Lothian pupil wins NHS 24's annual card competition

A talented young artist from Winchburgh Primary School has won this year’s NHS 24 Christmas Card Competition. P5 pupil Paulina’s festive design, which beautifully captures the theme “I’m dreaming of a Scottish Christmas”, will feature as NHS 24’s official Christmas card for 2025. 

The competition invited pupils to create artwork showcasing an NHS worker in a cherished Scottish setting during the festive season. Paulina’s imaginative design stood out amongst the entries for its creativity and attention to detail. 

To celebrate her achievement, NHS 24 Engagement Manager Mark Conway and Anne MacDougall, Chair of NHS 24’s Public Partnership Forum, visited the school to present Paulina with her prize and congratulate her in person. Speaking at the event, Mark said: 

“The creativity and quality of this year’s entries were outstanding. Paulina’s design perfectly captured the spirit of the competition, and we’re thrilled to showcase her work as our official Christmas card. A huge thank you to all the pupils and schools who took part.” 

Anne added: 

“It’s wonderful to see such enthusiasm and talent from young people. Competitions like this help us connect with communities and spread festive cheer.” 

Runners-up in the competition will also receive prizes for their fantastic contributions. 

The annual Christmas card competition is part of NHS 24’s commitment to engaging with local communities and is a great opportunity to encourage creativity among young people. Paulina’s winning design will be shared widely across NHS 24’s digital channels and with partners throughout Scotland.
