Christmas Colouring Competition 2023 Winners

Our employees artistic helpers have been hard at work to bring us joy in the form of their colourful competition entries! Congratulations to the winners of the Enva Ireland Christmas Colouring Competition 2023.

There were three entry categories: for the Under 5’s a Santa picture to colour in, for ages 5 to 8 a reindeer was added to the mix, and for ages 8 to 11 the remit was to draw a Christmassy themed picture. Winners were chosen by an independent judging committee on Tuesday 19th December consisting of Ed Comerford (I&A and W/O Production Manager), Catherine Hayward (HSE Officer) and Chloe Farrell (Business Manager, Industrial Services). It was a difficult decision as the standard of entries was so high, but ultimately, three overall winners were chosen.

Congratulations to our overall category winners:

• Under 5’s – Santa colouring - Lucy Phelan
• Age 5 to 8 – Santa and reindeer colouring- Cole Dixon
• Age 8 to 11 – Christmassy themed drawing- Lia Staunton - a wonderfully creative depiction of a ‘Tree Competition’ (pictured above). 

Congratulations also to our second and third place category winners, and to our highly commended entrants. 

• Under 5’s – Kylah Walsh (2nd) and Zack Casement (3rd)
• Age 5 to 8 –  Deirbhile NicAodha (2nd) and Freya Kelly (3rd)
• Age 8 to 11 – Conor Carroll (2nd) and Tori Carmody (3rd)

The 9 winners each receive a certificate which shows their respective picture as a keepsake and their corresponding gift voucher prize. 

Entries can be viewed in the Christmas Art Gallery at Portlaoise Office, where they are adding extra sparkle to the office for our employees and visitors. Our winning entries can also be viewed here: Christmas Competition Winners 2023.
