Isabelle Scott's artwork in the girls 11-13 years category
A Derry girl is among the winners the highly prestigious Credit Union ‘Imagine’ Art competition.
Isabelle Scott was the choice of the judges in the girls 11-13 years category when the winners were announced via a special virtual ceremony broadcast. Over 30,000 entries were received in total.
The competition, now in its 38th year, is regarded as one of the most prominent and longest-running competitions of its type.
A special virtual ceremony, hosted by RTE broadcaster, Marty Whelan, was streamed on the ILCU social media channels for finalists and their families, friends and credit unions to tune into.
Marty ran through all of the finalists’ works of art and also spoke to the three art competition judges Una Sealy, Ursula Retzlaff O'Connell and Stephen Doyle, and got their insights and impressions of this year’s winning entries.
The theme for this year’s competition was ‘Imagine’ which encouraged entrants to explore their thoughts, hopes and dreams, and portray them on paper or canvas.
Speaking about the competition and the awards ceremony, ILCU head of communications, Paul Bailey, said: “Once again, we were absolutely blown away by the standard and amount of entries to this year’s competition.
“We received over 30,000 entries across all age categories and I want to congratulate every entrant who took part and shared their artwork with us.
"The theme this year of ‘Imagine’ really brought out the creativity, vision and dreams of the entrants and we saw some amazing pieces of art, demonstrating the massive amount of artistic talent that is out there.

Age categories encompassed seven-years-and under to 18-years-and-over.
