Credit Union Art Competition 2025

The Ennistymon & District Credit Union Ltd is delighted to launch the 2025 Credit Union Art Competition and is calling on local artists of all ages to take part in one of Ireland’s longest running and most inclusive art initiatives. The competition invites people from all walks of live to express themselves through creativity, with this year’s theme asking them to reflect on “The Future is…”

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 42^nd year, the Credit Union Art Competition continues to support and promotes creativity at every stage of life.

Ennistymon & District Credit Union believe in supporting not only financial wellbeing, but also personal growth and connection through community involvement. The art competition is part of that wider mission, encouraging children and adults alike to think, create and share their ideas with others.
