Trócaire Box Competition

We're asking you to desigin your very own Trócaire box.
The winning entry will be sent to 1 million schools, homes and churches during Lent 2013!

Information required

We would also like a 1-page explanation of your submission explaining how it reflects the work of Trócaire and how you think it will help us raise awareness and funds for our work.
Rules of entry

PREPARING YOUR DESIGN
Use of materials
You may use any type of paper, white, coloured, rough or smooth. The work that you submit may be drawn or painted in pencil, charcoal, pen and ink, crayon, pastel, watercolour, gouache, acrylics, oils, poster colour and collage. Alternatively, it may be submitted in digital format in any artwork software. Prints created from a lino block, wood blocks or any other methods may also be submitted.
Originality
Your work should be original and reflect the positive work of Trócaire.
Considerations
The Trócaire Box is the main tool we use to fundraise during Lent. How will your class inspire people to donate?
In addition to fundraising the box also informs and educates the people of Ireland about our work. How will your design support this?
The more your class learn about Trócaire and our work the better your chances of winning.
Please use our Lent 2012 resources to inspire and inform your class to create a stronger Trócaire box design.
Closing date
The closing date for receipt of entries is Friday, 27th April 2012.
Please send your entries to Trócaire Box Competition, Trócaire, Maynooth, Co. Kildare.

We look forward to seeing your work. Good luck!
