Art Competition 2015
In August 2015 we asked Young People to design plaques for the doors of the new offices in Dublin. Four young people submitted artwork (see images below) which are now on display in the new office. A big thank you goes out to Dwayne, Emma, Kirsty and all the other young people who took part. We still have a lot of wall space that we are looking for young people from around the country to cover so please keep the artwork and photographs coming.
