BUDDING artists have been invited to submit entries for this year’s Credit Union national art competition which has been launched by Killarney Credit Union illustrating the theme “Dreams are made of this”.
Now in its 33rd year, the competition attracts up to 50,000 entries through 300 credit unions nationwide and caters for all ages, with categories ranging from under seven to over 18 and adult. There is a special category for those with physical and intellectual disabilities.
Killarney Credit Union is inviting anybody with an interest in art to enter the local competition and entry forms are available from the local branches in Beech Road, Park Road and Kenmare as well as online at www.killarneycu.ie. The closing date for entries to Killarney Credit Union is Friday, October 28 at 5.00pm.
Winners, runners-up and merit award winners at local level go on to represent Killarney Credit Union at regional level and if successful, at national level. Local winners will receive their prizes at a local ceremony and their artwork will be displayed in the local branches.
Joy Clifford Vaughan, Youth Officer with Killarney Credit Union, said: “Last year we had winners at national level and we are encouraging all credit union members, young and old to participate in this competition. With the inspiring theme it should give much opportunity for creativity.”
