The Deadline for Entering the 2024 Art Competition is Friday, 11th October!

The deadline for entering the 2024 Credit Union Art Competition is fast approaching!

This year's theme is 'The Joys of Life' and the deadline is Friday, 11th October, at 5.00 pm in our Derry office on Abbey Street, or our Claudy office on Main Street.

Each piece requires an official entry form which also includes further details and the rules of the competition. You may obtain a form by clicking here Derry Credit Union Art Competition Entry Form, ringing us on 028 7126 6738 or emailing us at info@derrycu.com

The competition encourages artists to draw or paint using pencil, charcoal, pen or ink, felt-tip markers, crayon, pastel, water colours, gouache, acrylics, oils, poster colour or collage. The competition is open to artists of all ages who live, work or attend school in our common bond: the BT47 and BT48 post code areas.

There are five age categories, beginning with the 7 years and under age group and finishing with the 18 years and over age group, and there are two competitions: General and Additional Needs.

Winners and runners-up will be invited to a special ceremony before Christmas in Derry Credit Union's Abbey Street office where they will receive their certificates and prizes. The first-place winning entries will then progress to the second - chapter level - stage and those winners will be forwarded to the National stage of the competition.

So break out the easels, paints and brushes and get going!
