Louth Volunteer Centre is combining volunteering and art by organising an amateur photographic competition and exhibition, ‘Lens a Hand’, aimed at promoting and encouraging volunteering in Louth.
Do you volunteer? Know anyone who does? Been to a volunteer event? Have pictures at home you think capture the spirit of volunteering in Louth?
If so you can enter their competition for a chance of winning some fantastic prizes and have your work included in an exhibition at the Drogheda Town Centre and The Marshes in Dundalk!
The competition opened on earlier this month and runs until this day next week, Friday April 4th.
The theme is to capture the spirit of volunteering in Louth, its positive impact in the local community and the diversity of volunteering in action. The best entries from all categories (children, teens and adults) will be shortlisted for exhibition and get prizes.
The prizes include: 1 night B&B stay for two people at the D Hotel Drogheda, a meal for two at the Pheasant, €100 Voucher from Marks & Spencer, Bubblegum Hair Salon cut/colour/blowdry vouchers, one year Highlanes Gallery workshops for children, 4 people Omniplex cinema passes and more!
The exhibition will be displayed in the Drogheda Town Centre as a part of the Drogheda Arts Festival from May 1st to 10th and in the Marshes, Dundalk from May 12th to 18th.
