Get creative for the NI centenary

The NI100 project will showcase what residents are most proud of in the Causeway Coast and Glens area over the last 100 years.

Whether a place, person, historical event, or just simply something within the area that means a lot to you, the project is asking people to get creative in any way you like.

Entries can be submitted as a drawing, painting, poem, creative writing or any other arts or craft piece.

Welcoming the project, Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Alderman Mark Fielding, said: “With stunning landscapes and natural beauty, a rich history and culture, and a wealth of famous figures from the past, we are privileged to live in such a special place.

“This project is a wonderfully creative way to celebrate the people and places that make the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough unique and I am calling on everyone’s help to showcase our shared love for the incredible place we call home.”

There will be four prize categories:

· Drawing / painting

· Poem / written piece

· Most creative

· Original

Winners will receive a Causeway Coast and Glens Gift Card that can be used in over 200 local independent businesses across the Borough.
