‘It’s a Wonderful World’ as Drogheda Credit Union launches Art Competition

Drogheda Credit Union says that entries are now open for the 2022 Credit Union Art Competition. The theme for this year’s Credit Union Art Competition is ‘It’s A Wonderful World’.

This year’s theme gives participants the opportunity to present their own interpretation of the magic in the world and what must be done to keep it this way. The competition invites participants to create artworks that depict the theme and explore through their own unique lens the beauty and wonder of the world.

The Credit Union Art Competition, now in its 39th year, is dedicated to supporting and developing the arts in Irish society. The credit union has always had a keen commitment in promoting and encouraging involvement in the arts across communities and this is an important message we want to spread.

The competition is free to enter. There are no age limits, and it is open to aged seven years and under right through to 18 years and over. There is also an additional needs category. Winners at local level will go on to a regional level, and regional winners will progress to the national awards ceremony in February 2023.

Tom Kiley, CEO, of Drogheda Credit Union said: “Year after year, artists from Drogheda, East Meath, Trim, Dunleer and Monasterboice continue to amaze us with their entries. We are delighted to be able to facilitate the Credit Union Art Competition to showcase those capabilities. I encourage all young artists to delve into the Wonderful World theme and present an array of artwork bursting with colour and creativity! Best of luck to you all.”

Entry forms are available from Drogheda Credit Union branches on Laurence Street, Dunleer, Monasterboice, Trim and East Meath. The closing date to submit finished entries is 7th October 2022.
