The deadline is just days away for your chance to design the official Telegraph & Argus Christmas card and raise money for our £1 million Bradford Crocus Cancer Appeal.

Children aged from four to 14 have six days left to enter our competition by drawing a Christmas scene, complete with our T&A Bradford Crocus Cancer Appeal logo.

The card can feature anything you like, so long as it has a clear Christmas theme and includes the autumn crocus which has inspired our campaign.

The winners of the three age categories – four to six, seven to ten and 11 to 14 – as chosen by T&A readers – will receive £100 to spend on art materials, while the overall winner will win an iPad.

They will be announced in the T&A during the week beginning November 18, with their Christmas card going on sale soon after.

We have joined forces with Bradford University, Yorkshire Cancer Research and the Sovereign Health Care Charitable Trust to buy the university’s Institute of Cancer Therapeutics a hi-tech mass spectrometer – a machine which could hold the key to making a vital discovery in the war on cancer.

To enter, paint or draw a colour Christmas scene, complete with Christmas greeting, incorporating the T&A Bradford Crocus Cancer Appeal logo. It must be landscape (wide) shape on an A4 sheet of paper.

Once completed, fill in the coupon which can also be downloaded at telegraphandargus.

co.uk, and send it to: The T&A 2013 Christmas Card competition, c/o Charlotte Wood, Promotions Department, Telegraph & Argus, Hall Ings, Bradford BD1 1JR.

Entries can also be handed in at the T&A office, on Hall Ings, and at the Keighley News on North Street, Keighley; the Ilkley Gazette and Wharfedale & Aireborough Observer on Wells Road, Ilkley; and the Craven Herald in High Street, Skipton.

Your entry must reach us by 5pm next Thursday, November 7.

A panel of judges will then pick the best entries to appear in a T&A supplement on November 15 and readers can vote for their favourite by text or phone.

If you would be interested in selling copies of the card at your school or Christmas fair, call (01274) 705295.
