A young girl from Kirkby beat entries from across the UK to win one of the top prizes in a festive postcard competition.

Eugenijus Meduneckis, who works at Amazon in Sutton, entered six-year-old Milana’s design into a national competition run across all of Amazon’s UK sites.

As one of five runners-ups in the 0-11 age category, Milana and Eugenijus received a £100 Amazon voucher.

The competition is part of a long-standing partnership between Amazon and the charity Magic Breakfast, which provides healthy breakfasts to children in disadvantaged areas of the UK to combat food poverty.

When schools shut earlier this year due to Covid-19, Amazon worked with Magic Breakfast to deliver food parcels directly to the doorsteps of thousands of children around the UK. Amazon has now delivered two million meals to vulnerable children across the UK this year.

The festive card competition challenged Amazon team members and their families to design a festive-themed postcard to be included in boxes of Magic Breakfast food delivered to families throughout December. Entries were judged on inclusion of festive elements, positive messages, creativity, inclusivity and appropriateness for all audiences.

Milana and Eugenijus’s design features a decorated Christmas Tree and Santa himself.

Eugenijus said: “I absolutely love the festive season and I can’t believe Milana’s card has come runner-up in a national competition! Thank you, Amazon, for our £100 voucher – we will be treating ourselves.”

Georgia Akuwudike, site leader at Amazon in Sutton, added: “Everyone at Amazon in Sutton is proud of Eugenijus and Milana and we all send our congratulations to them both. We were so pleased to hear that the runner up in Amazon’s national competition was one of our own here at Amazon in Sutton and hope they enjoy their well-deserved prize.”

Eugenijus entered the postcard in the competition’s 0-11 age category.
