The Sunderland Live 2013 Christmas Card Competition...

Christmas 2013 will be Sunderland Live's very first and we knew to celebrate it we needed a very special Christmas Card! We also knew how much the team enjoy looking through your photographs of our events, so there really was only one option.

The Sunderland Live 2013 Christmas Card competition is open to all ages and skill levels and all you have to do to enter is send your festive photograph to [email protected] with the subject 'Christmas Card Competition' and your contact details.

The lucky winner will have their image used with credit on the front of our 2013 Christmas Cards, will be promoted via our website and social media platforms and will receive a small surprise to say thanks also!

So if you think you can take a snap as good as our photo above of Gus Poyet and The Mayor at the Sunderland Christmas Lights Switch On or that you can capture a festive moment in our Christmas Village then read the rules of entry below:
