ICCR Art Competition
The ICCR Art Competition is now closed. No more entries will be accepted at this stage. We would like to thank all the children who took part and sent their art work. The quality of the entries was impressive, and children put a lot of work and thought in their drawings/collages/etc. Check out the winning entries by their categories, following the links to the right.
In the ICCR, we value children and young people's input in the work that we do, and we wanted them to participate in the branding of our website, the documents we produce and events that we organise. That is why we invited 5-18 year olds living in Northern Ireland to take part in our ART COMPETITION.
To enter, children filled the entry form, produced a piece of art work that fit into one of our research themes/categories (explained below), and sent it to: Lisa Monaghan, ICCR, Queen’s University Belfast, 6 College Park, Belfast, BT7 1LP.
PRIZES for each theme/category are Love2Shop vouchers for the value of £100 (1st); £50 (2nd); and £25 (3rd). Winning entries are being displayed in the ICCR webpages. In addition, they were displayed in our event on Thursday 20th June 2013, '18 Years 18 Stories', in the Riddel Hall, when the prizes were given.
Entries were judged on creativity, artistic merit, and relevance to the theme.
The themes/categories that entries relate to are:
- children and families (we study the development of children and teenagers, their relationships with their parents/family, and how early experiences might affect their later life) - see our winning entries;
- health and wellbeing (we ask young people with disabilities what makes them happy, and study how experiencing grief affects mental health) - see our winning entries;
- children in public care and adopted (we talk to children and young people who are adopted, fostered or live in residential homes, and their parents/carers) - see our winning entries; and
- teenagers (we study adolescent development and teenage lifestyles) - see our winning entries.
