Glanbia Ireland’s budding artists

22 December 2020

All budding artists from across our Glanbia Ireland Community were called upon to sharpen their pencils and get out their markers to enter our Glanbia Ireland Christmas Art Competition.

It was part of an employee engagement programme running over the winter months. The theme of our competition was “Christmas Hero” and it is safe to say that we have plenty of superheroes at Glanbia Ireland and not all wear capes!

The excellent art work was split into four categories;

  • Pre-school, Junior Infants and Senior infants
  • 1st & 2nd Class
  • 3rd – 4th Class
  • 5th – 6th Class

The four lucky category winners received a €50 Smyths Toys voucher with runners-up receiving a €25 voucher. We had a phenomenal response to our Children's art competition and were blown away by the high standard of the entries. 

We would like to say a huge thank you and well done to all the children who took part.  But, there could only be four winners and we are delighted to share with you their artworks;

The winner in our Pre-school, Junior Infants and Senior infants was; Clive Og Ellis, Age 6, entered by Shirley Ann Seagrave - Consumer Category, Citywest
