State Member for Ferny Grove Geoff Wilson MP this week congratulated Year 7 Samford State School student Emily Sproule whose artwork was selected from more than 5000 entries and awarded a Highly Commended in the 2004 Minister for Education's Christmas Card Competition.

"Emily's outstanding artwork is a collage made of multi-coloured paper and cardboard," he said.
"It was inspired by the theme 'My School at Christmas' and depicts an empty classroom with the words Merry Christmas on the blackboard.

Geoff Wilson presented Emily with a certificate of merit from the Education Minister in recognition of her entry at a School Assembly yesterday. 

"The Minister for Education's Christmas Card Competition is a great opportunity for budding young artists of all ages to have their artwork showcased to a wider audience."

State Communications Manager for Australia Post in Queensland Louise Corrigan, said Australia Post was delighted to be involved in the Christmas Card competition.

"Australia Post supports a diverse range of programs that invest in the future of our society, and in particular we have a key focus on education and literacy." Ms Corrigan said.

The competition was open to all Queensland state and non-state school students.
