IT'S time for youngsters to get creative for the festive season.
Today we launch our Design a Christmas Card competition to give children the chance to come up with their festive creations. Readers of the Bury Times will vote for their favourite designs and the winners will have their cards printed, as well as scooping fantastic prizes.
The competition is open to children aged four to 11-years-old. Your card can be made using paints, coloured pencils, or felt-tip pens.

Once you have finished the design, fill in the details on the form and send it to Design a Christmas Card Competition, Editorial Department, The Bolton News, The Wellsprings, Civic Centre, Bolton, BL1 1AR, by October 30.
A selection of the best will be printed in a special supplement on November 12 when readers will be able to vote for their favourite designs by text, or by phone. The usual Newsquest rules apply, which can be viewed online at theboltonnews.co.uk/terms
The winners will be announced at the end of November and the cards will be professionally printed at the start of December so they can be sent out to friends and family in time for Christmas.
