Mr Barilaro is again inviting pre-school and primary school students in the electorate to take part in his annual Christmas card competition
He took time out to chat with students from kindergarten and years 2 and 3 about their designs, and said he was looking forward to many more beautiful entries this year.
"My office was inundated with so many amazing entries last year I decided to run the competition again; there is obviously a great deal of creativity in the electorate that needs to be captured," he said.
"The children will have on number of weeks to send in an entry so I hope that lots of schools will take up the challenge and get involved."
The winning design will front Mr Barilaro's official Christmas card, printed onto hundreds of cards sent to organisations and individuals.
This year's theme is 'A very sporty Christmas'.
Entries should have the artist's name, age and school should be clearly marked on the reverse of each entry.
All entries must be sent to 110-112 Monaro Street (PO Box 998) Queanbeyan NSW 2620, and received by 5.00pm on Friday 21st November 2013.
First prize winner will receive a $100 gift voucher, second prize $50 and third prize $25.
