Ellie came up with the idea of two hands joining around the world and created the design on a black background, surrounded by stars.
Her proud mum Zoe said: “Ellie is quite arty and told me that the idea had just popped into her head. She really enjoyed taking part in the competition.”
As part of her prize Ellie was given tickets to see a Leicester City football match and attended an award ceremony at Stamford Bridge, the home of Chelsea Football Club.
