New comp has big toy bundles up for grabs

THE star of our new competition comes to notice every December, but it’s not Santa Claus.

Cheeky character Elf on the Shelf is one of the most photographed and shared images through social media during the festive season.

There are websites dedicated to all the crazy things these elves get up to.

This year we are giving Santa a helping hand with hauls of Spin Master toys up for grabs.

What we need are photos of something your elf got up to that made you laugh.

This is last year’s elf, this year’s cohort are still in the North Pole but we know you’ve saved photos (Santa told us).

The Moreton Border News has a bundle of toys valued at $150 to gift our winner.

Our winning submission will get a Unicorn Academy Rainbow Light-Up Wildstar, Suprise Learning Box, Hedbanz Game, Paw Patrol Pub Squad Racers, Tech Deck ACS 96mm Single SK8 Crew and a Rubik’s Christmas Tree.

There are heaps more to reveal as the competition unfolds over the next three weeks.

For your chance to win, send us a photograph of your elf doing something awesome.

Don’t forget to include your name, your elf’s name, suburb and best contact number for your parent or caregiver (in case you win).

Send your entry to events@boonahnewspapers.com.au

Entries close December 1 and winners will be notified December 2.
