Our Christmas Cards are helping support mentally fit York

The University of York Christmas Card Competition

Students, staff and alumni of the university were offered the chance to enter a competition to design the official University of York Christmas card for 2021. There were loads of amazing entries, with the winning design by student Veniamin Shiron, with the runner up designs by Charlotte Rule, Ruby O'Connell and Zuzanna Rog!

The designs feature a range of Christmas themed images of York, with a Christmas tree made of ducks, Central Hall in the snow, and even geese ice skating by Heslington Hall! 

The winning card designs are available to purchase from Nisa Market Square, Nisa Kimberlow, University Clothing and Gift Shop and the online Merchandise store.

All profits from the sale of these Christmas cards are being donated to Mentally Fit York, and any further donations would be massively appreciated, and go towards an amazing cause.
