Art Competition 2022:
Creating-Experiencing-Connecting
***Deadline Extended to 12 noon Friday 6 May 2022***
The INTO Art Competition is open to all active members in the north. We hope, following on from the scale and diversity of 2021’s competition that this year, members will have been inspired to enter for the first time.
While the Art Competition produces a winner each year, we hope members find the opportunity to bring an idea to completion, to share their work with fellow members and support the continued growth of an entirely INTO member produced display of art to be an appealing and inspiring one.
The Art Competition is as much about creating art works as it is about experiencing art. Through this competition INTO hopes to offer members another way to connect with each other and also to a part of their creative lives that may get side-lined in a busy life.
As in previous years an overall winner for 2022 will be identified by a panel of judges and if appropriate a highly commended piece also. To help with ease of participation there are two simple steps to entering, please complete the application form and submit this along with a clear photograph of your piece/s to infoni@into.ie. Members may submit up to a maximum of three original paintings, these need not be framed but if chosen as the winning piece will become part of the growing Northern Office art collection.
Members have found the choice of a theme to be helpful when creating or choosing a painting to enter and we hope those listed are as diverse and engaging as possible:
- People
- Animals
- Landscape
- Seascape
- Cityscape
- Abstract
- Still Life (newly added)
Normally a winner is chosen prior to the annual Vere Foster Lecture. The deadline for entries has been extended to 12 noon on Friday 6 May 2022.
The school year is a demanding time. Perhaps work on your entry for this year’s competition could provide a welcome element to your work-life balance. We hope as well as INTO enjoying the artistic work of its members that you too enjoy the benefits that come with creating pieces of art.
Your form and photographs of your paintings must be with INTO by 12 noon, Friday 6 May 2022.
