Great Yorkshire Radio Christmas Card Competition

Great Yorkshire Radio is the official Christmas station across Hull, Bradford & Leeds and once again we’re looking for young budding artists to design our official Christmas card.

This year we have teamed up with Eden Camp Modern History Museum for this amazing competition to design the official Great Yorkshire Radio Christmas card.

The winning design will feature on the front of the Great Yorkshire Radio Christmas Card which we will be sending to our clients and friends of the station.

The person with the winning design will win a full season pass to Eden Camp for them and their family and the winner’s school will a full day visit to the museum for their class!

Eden Camp Modern History Museum is a family owned and run business that started over 30 years ago.

Originally a prisoner of war camp, it was built on an agricultural plot on the outskirts of Malton in early 1942, by a small contingent of army personnel who had travelled from Castle Douglas, Scotland. At its peak, Eden Camp’s 45 huts were supplemented by a large area of tented accommodation and could house around 1200 prisoners at any one time.

The Italian prisoners gave way to German POW in the summer of 1944, with the successful Allied invasion of Normandy. The German prisoners, like the Italians before them, were mainly put to work locally in agriculture and they lived in the huts at Eden Camp until 1948, when they were finally released, 3 years after the war had ended.

Eden Camp is now a museum that attracts thousands of visitors each year – a great educational day out for the whole family. Find out more on their website here: https://edencamp.co.uk/
