Annual Credit Union Art Competition Launches!

The 2025 Credit Union Art Competition is now open! We are excited to extend an invitation to people of all ages and abilities to represent Coalisland Credit Union at the local level of the competition.

One of the most prominent and longest-running competitions of its type across the land, this year’s competition theme is 'The Future is...'. The theme encourages artists to look ahead with imagination, hope and curiosity. Participants might explore personal dreams and milestones, a better world for the next generation, or how change and progress might shape our lives and communities. Whether bold and futuristic or thoughtful and personal, the theme offers endless possibilities for creative interpretation.

The competition has two categories - General Category and Additional Needs Category, with the following age groups in each category:

• 7 years and under inclusive
• 8 - 10 years inclusive
• 11 - 13 years inclusive
• 14 - 17 years inclusive
• Adult - 18 years and over
• Group (Additional Needs Category)

The Additional Needs Category allows participants with a physical or intellectual disability to be actively encouraged by their teachers to submit entries in free expression painting or drawing, without the restrictions of the competition’s official theme (should they so wish).

Please note entries must be either A2 or A3 and landscape orientation.
