The Bat Conservation Ireland Award – 1
Prize Fund €1,500
Sponsored by Bat Conservation Ireland
Bat Conservation Ireland are sponsoring two awards, the first award is to sponsor a playground sculpture or artwork that highlights the importance of bats in the Irish ecosystems as nocturnal insectivores and also how bats have been helpful in scientific research on various topics such as robotics, ageing, medicine, etc. For this competition we would like to see how bats can inspire the creation of beautiful art. The theme for the illustration is Batty Benefits! The award consists of an artistic commission of €1,500 towards the project.
To apply, the local TidyTowns committee will be required to submit a short image description (ca. 300 words), the intended location of the image, dimensions of the image, and a sketch or rough drawing of the image.
