For almost two decades one pupil's drawing from a primary School in Fife has been selected to be brought to life as a Christmas light! Last year the designs went viral.

This year the pupils are back with a bang! And organisers decided to select TWO winners from the entries. This bright and bold rainbow was created by Lois. Her design was inspired by the pandemic and the rainbow represents a symbol of hope.

The second winning Christmas drawing, of a big green dinosaur wrapped in fairy lights, came from Arlo.

The pair were given the exciting news at school last week and will now see their lights line the street for years to come! Head teacher, Susan Ewing says that it's a great community project and Lois's mum, Angela, says she has quietly hoped for years that her daughter's design might win.
