And the winner is in...
After hundreds of votes by residents across the constituency, Leo Hutley, aged 8, of from Oakworth Primary School has been voted the winner of Keighley and Ilkley MP Robbie Moore’s 2025 Christmas Card Competition
The local MP received hundreds of entries from residents and primary schools across the Keighley, Ilkley, Craven and Worth Valley areas, which were whittled down to eight finalists and put to a public vote.
Following a close competition, Leo from Oakworth was crowned the winner, with the design set to be displayed in Parliament and signed by Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle.
Leo’s card features the area’s iconic Keighley and Worth Valley Railway alongside a red Robin. The card will now be mass-produced and sent to HM the King, Members of Parliament and hundreds of individuals and businesses across Keighley and Ilkley.
Mr Moore visited Oakworth Primary school for a special assembly, where pupils performed a rendition of ‘Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer’ and Leo was presented with his award - as well as a copy of his winning card and a House of Commons Speaker’s teddy bear to congratulate him on the achievement.
Runners up this year , who will also feature in the card, were Serah Jibin, aged 8 from Steeton Primary School, Oliver Wright, aged 10 from Merlin Top Primary and Fatima Asif, aged 10 from Holycroft Primary.
Robbie Moore MP said:
“After opening this year’s competition to all age groups, was there any doubt that our brilliant primary school artists would still come out top?! A huge well done to Leo, whose colourful design celebrates an iconic part of our local railway heritage and will now be sent off to HM the King, MPs from across the country and local residents and businesses. And thank you to everyone who took part in my Christmas card competition this year!”
