Design a Cover Art Project Winner 2010-11

Waterford student wins National Art Project

Katie Ní Urmholtaigh, a student from Co. Waterford was declared the winner of Mental Health Ireland’s national Design a Cover Art Project.

Katie was presented with her award of €250 and a trophy. She was accompanied by her family.

Katie’s design, which was chosen from over one thousand entries received from second-level students from all over Ireland, will be used by Mental Health Ireland on the cover of the promotional literature for the Organisation’s 2011-2012 National Public Speaking event.

Katie’s picture shows a hand outstretched reaching for help from the shadows of a tunnel. The  caption reads “There is always light at the end of the tunnel – Never give up hope”. Thérèse Coveney of Mental Health Ireland said “The judges loved Katie’s picture. The hand reaching out for help from a place of darkness into the light and another hand outstretched to provide that help depicts Positive Mental Health in a very simple and effective way”.
