hat can we say…? Totally our fault – launched a kids art competition in October, and then, before you can say “CHRISTMAS RUSH!”, it’s January.
So, only getting around to posting the wonderful entries in our Splash Of Colour competition now.
And we’ve just got send a big SHOUT-OUT to all the talented pupils at Gaelscoil na gCloch Liath, whose magical works arrived in a great big smiling envelope.
Truly stunning work, and a joy to behold.
We’ve also got magical offerings from Fay and Eve Deegan, Robyn Smullen and cover star Lily Bellhouse.
The judges have their thinking caps on, but, you can also vote for your favourites in the comments section below, and we’ll announce the winner on the 1st of February. Above is the work of the mighty Oisin Darling – the rest are listed below their paintings.
Closing date for votes is January 31st. And, bejiggers, you won’t believe the prizes that those beautiful people at goldfish.iehave pulled together for the winners.
In the meantime, it’s not too late for your little loved one to enter – kids 11 & under and kids 12 to 18 are the two sections, and you can send your entries intoinfo@greystonesguide.ie. We’ll have a groovy top-of-the-range prize for both age groups, courtesy of Greystones #1 telecommunications titans,goldfish.ie.
As you may have guessed, this competition is now closed. Catch the winners here, and all the groovy entries here.
It is so hard to choose. These are all so wonderful. A lot of work has gone into Sean’s Rainbow Fish and I like his choice of colours, so my vote goes to Sean.
I’d like to vote for Conor’s Rainbow Eel, it’s a triumph of kinetic energy, colour and texture and jumps off the page to give the lucky viewer a feast for the eyes.
