Samaritans Orkney Artwork Competition

The Pier Arts Centre is working with the Samaritans in Orkney to find artworks to display in their recently refurbished Kirkwall office, to help calm and encourage their volunteers as they respond to telephone calls and emails from vulnerable people in need of their support from across the UK.

The final artworks will be chosen from entries into a competition which is open to anyone aged between 0 and 18 years old, and living in Orkney. Artworks must be 2-Dimentional, including painting, photography, craft or print. Please send an image of your artwork, along with the artwork title, artist’s name, age and contact information (or a parent/guardian’s details if preferred or if under 16 years old) and the size of the artwork, to the Pier Arts Centre via email isla.holloway@pierartscentre.com or through Facebook Messenger @thepierartscentre

The competition deadline is Friday 30 October 2020.

Winning entries will be announced on Saturday 7 November and all entries will be included in an online exhibition on the Pier Arts Centre’s website later in November.

Please note participants must be prepared for their original artworks to be given to the Samaritans Orkney to hang in their office.
