Four Mayo retail outlets are seeking the public’s vote to help them win the Go Green with Green Angel Skincare Challenge – a nationwide search to find Ireland’s most creative shop window. Molloy’s Lifestyle Pharmacy, Bunree Rd, Ballina; Bourke’s Pharmacy, Main St, Castlebar; Curley’s Totalhealth Pharmacy, Main St, Ballyhaunis; Lavelles Pharmacy, Main St, Belmullet, are registered for the public vote, which closes on March 14.
The Guaranteed Irish-backed competition challenges Green Angel stockists to produce the country’s best St Patrick’s Day-themed window featuring the successful Irish skincare brand. The competition was launched by former Miss Ireland Aoife Walsh and Gerhard Scully, who was the iconic window dresser at Clerys department store for 25 years.
“There are two key components to a good window – individuality and creativity,” said Scully. “People need to bring their own things into a window display, and make it in their own image almost. It should be something that they have designed themselves, put together themselves, and shown that bit of love to."
All of the entrants’ pictures will be posted on the Green Angel Skincare Facebook page where the public can vote for their favourite store and staff to win valuable prizes plus a €1,000 contribution to a charity of their choice sponsored by Guaranteed Irish. And one lucky voter in each county will win a luxury hamper of Green Angel products.
