Christmas elf competition: Seven of our favourite entries so far

Christmas elves are causing mayhem in homes across Tayside and Fife – as photos from our readers show.

We are looking for the best antics in our Christmas elf competition – and the family behind them will win a £50 toy voucher.

To enter, use the form at the bottom of this article before midday on December 21.

We’ve had a hoot looking through some of the photos submitted so far by readers who have been experiencing elf mischief.

Can your Christmas elf beat these tricks?

And they might inspire your elf to go even bigger and better.

The Elf on Shelf tradition sees small elves arrive mysteriously, usually in early December, to report back to Santa on whether children are being naughty or nice.

Each morning, children discover the tricks their elf has been up to during the night.

Brothers Tommi, 10, and Lochlan, 7, were delighted to be our winners with mum Stacey Campbell last year.

Their elves Jerry and Jinxy got up to all sorts in their Perth home.

But it was their recreation of the Bushtucker Trial from ITV show I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! that really caught our eye.
