We are delighted to announce the theme for this year's Credit Union Art Competition:
Walk of Life
We invite all budding local artists to submit entries for this year’s
Credit Union National Art Competition
The age groups are as follows:
- 7 years and under
- 8-10 years inclusive
- 11-13 years inclusive
- 14-17 years inclusive
- 18 years and over (Adult)
- There is also a Special Category for those with physical or intellectual disabilities. (This category are encouraged to use free expression in painting or drawing without the restrictions of the official theme)
“Walk of Life” theme is designed to give everyone, young and old, full scope to express their thoughts, imaginings, and anything that inspires them. Irish communities have made many positive changes in recent years to ensure the country is a more inclusive, diverse and liberal place to live in. Participants are encouraged to draw inspiration from the positive changes they may have witnessed or may have gone through themselves.
This art competition is about encouraging and rewarding self expression, creativity and imagination among young artists throughout Ireland. The competition requires entrants to draw or paint posters on the theme using pencil, charcoal, pen or ink, felt-tip markets, crayon, pastel, water colours, gouache, acrylics, oils, poster colour or collage.
Winners, runners-up and merit award winners at local level go on to represent the Credit Union at regional level and if successful, at national level!
