You must provide your own materials such as colouring pencils, markers, paper etc as no materials will be available on site. A3 size paper would be advisable. For children under 10 and under they can draw any community games event however for u12 and above they must select one of the topics below to draw.

Model Making
Under 10, under 12, under 14 and under 16 both boys and girls categories. You can make a model of anything to do with Community Games and you can use any form of material, plastercine, plastic, cardboard, wire, glass etc. Again you must provide your own materials. Max size of display 60 x 60cm. We have had a lot of County and All Ireland winners in the past in this category and the numbers participating have gone down. So it would be great to see more taking part.
Handwriting Competition
Handwriting: Under10 and Under 12 boys and girls. In this case I will provide the paper and pencils as they need to be the same to give each competitor an equal chance. You will be given a small passage/poem/newspaper clipping that you must copy including all punctuations etc.
For all of the above competitions, you can find the rules for each of these events under the community games website. CommunityGames.ie.
Please note that the community games ages/ age categories are based on the age of the child before the 31st of July.. In order to enter the child must reside in Craughwell Parish.
