Kenmare Credit Union is inviting anybody with an interest in art to enter the local competition. Entry forms are available from the Credit Union office at Killarney Road Kenmare and will be delivered to local schools. Closing date for entry to Kenmare Credit Union is Friday 10th October 2014.
Winners, runners-up and merit award winners at local level go on to represent the Credit Union at regional level and if successful, at national level.
