On Friday 9th November, we were delighted to welcome the winners of this year’s First Choice Credit Union Art Competition. The theme for this year’s competition was “The Force of Nature” and the entries did not disappoint. The standard was incredibly high across all age groups and categories and we must admit, we’re already looking forward to see what next year brings!!
Congratulations to our winners and also, to everyone who took part in the competition who made the judging exceptionally tough. The very best of luck to those moving onto Chapter Level.
