Keith Chapman, creator of Roary the Racing Car and Fifi and the flowertots, Sonali Shah from CBBC Newsround and Naomi Wilkinson from Five's Milkshake waded through the pile of over 400 entries for The Chancellors Christmas Card Competition to select the finalists of the competition. The selected entries were sent to the Chancellor and his wife to choose the winning card, which will be used as their official No. 11 Downing Street Christmas card and e-card, and sent to over 1,500 people in the UK and across the world.
Daycare Trust would like to thank everyone who participated in the competition.

Five's Milkshake presenter Naomi Wilkinson said: "I thoroughly enjoyed looking through all of the wonderful competition entries, with so many amazing pictures on the table it made picking my favourites really tough. The lovely task of judging got me in to an early festive mood... I was singing carols all the way home and looked like a bauble as I was covered in so much glitter!!"
