A present train! - (almost!) 7 Years.
Just about anyone would love to be aboard this train, presents galore and balloons waving in the breeze! This young person would donate their money to Royal Papworth Hospital Charity, who helped their nan. She recently died, but lived a long time - until she was ninety-four years old.
A fabulous beach scene - 10 years.
You can stare at this for ages, because there is just so much to see. This young person must have a wonderful imagination! They would donate their money to Cancer Research UK, as their grandad died of cancer.
A Blue Sky party! - 9 Years.
This looks like a fun party! Music, cake, lights - even a DJ! And all the coloured squiggles really help to make it feel like an exciting party! This young person would donate their money to the RSPC.
A yummy birthday - 5 Years.
This is quite frankly, brilliant. This young person has clearly focused very hard on creating something so neat. It looks as though the bird is considering a nibble of cake! This young person would donate their money to an autism charity.
Birthday sunshine balloons - 9 Years
Gosh, what lovely balloons these are! This card really does deliver some birthday sunshine! This young person would donate to a children's cancer charity, as they don't want children to suffer from cancer.
It is always so difficult to choose the winner of our competitions, because every entry has so much care and attention placed into them. And they all look absolutely fantastic!
This year we have chosen not one, but TWO winning entries, which I'm sure you'll agree will make wonderful birthday cards.
Winner! Rainbow-wrapped present - 7 Years
All the bright colours of the rainbow are tied up in a happy purple bow in this lovely entry. This young person will donate their money to an autism charity, as her siblings have autism.
Winner! A colour-filled birthday - 14 Years.
The birthday elements have been very carefully drawn here - it will make a great birthday card! This young person will donate their money to a cancer charity after seeing people they know suffer from cancer.
Well done to all the young people that submitted such brilliant card ideas. It always brings us so much joy to look at the beautiful work you have created, thank you!

Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children, Now Staying-Put!
Hikmat and Jawad are currently ‘staying-put’, which essentially means that both they and their foster carers have made the decision that they will stay on living together after the boys have passed the age of 18. We chat to them about their experience.
