The 27th annual All-Ireland Credit Union Poster Competition has been launched. The competition, which attracts up to 30,000 entries each year, will be run through a network of some 500 credit unions located throughout the island of Ireland.
Entrants are invited to draw or paint posters on the theme Local. Trusted. Serving You. There are two categories – general and special – with the following age groups in each: seven years and under; eight to 10 years; 11 to 13 years; 14 to 17 years; and 18 years and over.
The special category encourages participants with a physical or intellectual disability to submit entries in free expression without the restriction of the competition’s official theme (should they so wish ).
Local winners at credit union level in each category go forward to regional finals. Winning entries from regional level go through to the national final. Prizes will be awarded at each stage and a national awards ceremony will be held in February 2011.
All entries must be submitted to the local Credit Union. The latest date for entries is Friday November 5 — but check with the local Credit Union for possible earlier closing dates.
