Manorhamilton & District Credit Union Art Competition 2025

25 August 2025

Manorhamilton & District Credit Union Art Competition 2025

The Manorhamilton & District Credit Union Art Competition continues to be one of the most successful annual promotions undertaken by the credit union movement. The competition strives to encourage artists throughout Ireland through self-expression, creativity and imagination whilst also raising awareness of credit unions at local, regional and national level 
 
The theme for this year’s Credit Union Art Competition is ‘The Future Is’. This year’s theme gives participants the opportunity to present their own interpretation of what joy they see as the future.  

This year’s 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.

Now in its 42nd year, the Credit Union Art Competition continues to support and promote creativity at every stage of life. From early learners to lifelong artists, the competition celebrates the power of art to connect, inspire and bring communities together.
