Barker Christmas Card Art Competition Barossa Winner Announced

CHRISTMAS IN THE BAROSSA Member for Barker Tony Pasin’s annual Barker Christmas Card competition has been another success with close to 1,000 entries received from primary schools right across the electorate. Students from years one to five were invited to submit artwork that represented Christmas in their region.

‘We’ve had a fantastic response, with outstanding entries coming in from across the electorate. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at them all, although it was not an easy task to select the winning entries,’ Mr Pasin said.

Four entries were selected by Mr Pasin to feature on his 2025 Christmas Cards, one from each region of the Barker electorate: Barossa, Limestone Coast, Riverland and Murray Mallee.

An artwork by Mackenna Brown, a student from Sandy Creek Primary School was chosen by Mr Pasin to appear on the Christmas card to represent the Barossa.

Mackenna was presented with a prize - a boxed set of Derwent colouring pencils - at pizza party hosted by Mr Pasin, for Mackenna and her classmates.

‘I congratulate all those students who took the time and effort to create artwork that demonstrated what Christmas means to them, in their region,’ said Mr Pasin.

Each participating student will receive a certificate and small gift from Mr Pasin.
