Fossil Art Competition
The National Fossil Art Contest 2024 has been launched at UCC. Young artists from across the island of Ireland are invited to submit artwork featuring Irish fossils, with a grand prize of 鈧�500.
The contest is run by Ireland鈥檚 Fossil Heritage, School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, UCC and is open to children from 4 鈥� 18 years old. The theme of the contest is 鈥淚rish fossils ALIVE鈥�. Entries must be submitted as digital photographs accompanied by an application form by 5pm on 29 March on Ireland鈥檚 Fossil Heritage website. The winning entries in each age category will be exhibited in UCC鈥檚 Glucksman Gallery in May 2024.
Prizes include fossil-branded T-shirts, fossil kits and behind-the-scenes tours of the UCC fossil labs.
鈥淲e want children to let their imaginations run wild 鈥� how did ancient creatures live? What did they look like in their natural habitats? What colours were they?鈥� said Dr Jess Franklin of Ireland鈥檚 Fossil Heritage, 鈥淲e had amazing artworks from children all over Ireland last year and the year before, we can鈥檛 wait to see this year鈥檚 submissions鈥�.
鈥淔ossils make science accessible to people from all walks of life,鈥� said programme manager Professor Maria McNamara, Professor of Palaeontology at UCC. 鈥淲e want to celebrate our curiosity in the natural world in a creative way through art.鈥�
