Toby Ellis, from Beccles, has been awarded for his design in the nationwide competition.

She said: 'He designed the card at school last Christmas for an enterprise exercise where the children designed and hand-painted water colour snowmen pictures.

The pupil from Albert Pye Primary School was chosen by Jane Asher, who is a patron of NAS.
