The theme of the 2023 Credit Union Art Competition is ‘My Community & Me’ A community is not just a group of people who live in the same area. It's people who look out for and help each other and work together so that the needs of everyone are considered. A sustainable community doesn't just consider the interests of those who live in the community today. They think about and care for future generations too. And that's just what credit unions do too. We're based at the heart of local communities, and we put the needs of our members and the communities which we serve first. The theme for our 2023 Art Competition is 'My Community & Me'. We'd like you to consider your local community and your place within in. What makes your community different? Is it the people within it? Is it the beauty you see every day? The competition, now in its 40th year, is one of the most prominent and longest-running competitions of its type. Over 30,000 entries on average are received each year from children and adults from across Ireland. So put your thinking caps on put your imagination to the test and see what you can come with for 'My Community and Me'.

Art Competition

The CSO runs the John Hooper Poster competition every year. The prizes are great: 1st Place - €1,600 (of which €1,000 is awarded to the school and €600 is awarded to the team) 2nd Place - €1,000 (of which €650 is awarded to the school and €350 is awarded to the team) 3rd Place - €600 (of which €400 is awarded to the school and €200 is awarded to the team) To win the students must produce a poster that displays statistics. The statistics can be taken from existing sources or can be from research conducted by the students themselves. The focus seems to be on the data as opposed to the poster design. Previous winners have covered a diverse range of topics in almost any subject you could think of. If you have students engaged in a project involving any kind of research that produces data that can be graphed/charted/presented let me know and I can advise you on how to enter. A diverse range of subjects can be used - last years winners for example were: Geography (Topographical analysis of mobile phone coverage in Clare) Environment/Green Schools: How Much Plastic is Washed Up On Our Shores? Sport: The Impact of the Crowd on Referees' Decision Making Does Exercise Affect Happiness? Language: How Does Relative Pitch Affect a Person's Ability to Reproduce or Pronounce Languages Biology: Can We Save the Common Ash? Politics: Do Irish Teenagers Agree With Irish Neutrality? Music:How To Write A Piece of Chart Topping Music? Ag Science: Could Vertical Farming be Used as a More Efficient Method than Conventional Arable Farming in Ireland Business: A Regression Based Forecasting Model for Irelands Electricity Price Inflation
