Prizes for first and second places included a cash prize, a voucher for art materials, their art framed and displayed in ‘The People Choice Award’ Titanic Belfast, as well as a week-long exhibition in our Belfast gallery.

All original pieces that were on display at our 'Dockers & Dolls' exhibition at Titanic Belfast, were then showcased at the Northern Ireland Executive offices in Brussels. The winners from each category were flown to Brussels for the launch night which coincided with ‘Culture Night’, an annual event at the Northern Ireland Executive offices in Brussels that showcases the rich tapestry of art, music, and cuisine from Northern Ireland. This was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate their achievements. All 11 winning pieces were on display for three months, allowing visitors from across Europe to appreciate the incredible talent and creativity emerging from Northern Ireland.
