ChurchAds.net has teamed up with Ecclesiastical Insurance to bring you the The Christmas Factor competition – challenging you to come up with your very own Christmas carol. 

A recent survey has revealed that doorstep carol singing has declined significantly in recent years, with only 2% of people planning to go carol singing this year. In addition, almost three-quarters of Britons said that carollers are less welcome on the doorstep today than they were in the past.

Doorstep carol singing not only helps spread the Christian word, but also encourages a sense of community, not to mention putting a smile on many people's faces. 

Create your own masterpiece

All you need do is compose the lyrics and tune of a new carol, based on the theme of "Christmas starts with Christ". The winner will win the following prizes:

  • £1,000 prize money for your church or local church group
  • A professionally produced version of the carol
  • A performance of your carol on your own doorstep
  • Promotion and downloadable version of your carol online

Find out how to enter at www.churchads.net

Listen to a podcast about the competition and the research on carol singing that prompted it.

The competition closes at 5pm on 27 November 2009.
