Chloe Llewellyn wins The Greek Herald’s 2024 Christmas Cover Competition

·

For the fourth consecutive year, The Greek Herald invited the vibrant minds of youth aged 5 to 18 to craft the front cover of its special Christmas print edition — and the response was truly extraordinary.

This year’s competition saw a record-breaking flood of creative submissions from Greek schools all over Australia. Each entry was a celebration of colour, culture and holiday spirit, all beautifully aligned with the competition’s heartwarming themes: ‘Christmas in Greece’ and ‘A Greek Christmas.’

From sparkling stars over the Aegean to cozy family feasts, the young artists’ interpretations captured the magic of the season in ways only a child’s imagination could.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to every child who poured their creativity onto paper. Special thanks also go to the parents and grandparents who encouraged and inspired them to participate, nurturing the next generation of artists and storytellers.

Now, it’s time to showcase the incredible talent of our young community. Take a moment to admire the outstanding works of our finalists and join us in congratulating this year’s winner.

The Greek Herald is excited to announce today that 16-year-old Chloe Llewellyn from Sydney, New South Wales, is the winner of our Christmas print cover competition for 2024. Congratulations Chloe!

Chloe shared a special message with The Greek Herald after finding out she had won the competition and was the recipient of a $100 Westfield gift voucher.

“My mum wanted me to enter The Greek Herald’s competition because my first ever trip to Greece was last Christmas and that’s why this picture is so special to me,” Chloe said.

“It was my first time experiencing the Greek culture and being there at Christmas to meet my family for the first time was something I won’t forget.

“It was my first ever winter Christmas, which is why I also wanted to include snow in my artwork. I saw some snow while I was in Ioannina and we had snow fights on the road side. I also really loved all the stray cats running around and the boats on the water.

“I’m really honoured to have won this competition and pay tribute to my mum’s Greek heritage.”
