TCN are currently running a Reusable Cup design competition… open to all, with the winning artwork to be printed on a limited edition of Thomastown’s very own reusable cups which will go on sale in local cafés and restaurants this summer! The project draws inspiration from The Conscious Cup Campaign which estimates that over 200million non-recyclable cups are disposed of in Ireland every year.
We are excited to announce that a range of Thomastown businesses are now supporting this competition, and prizes up-for-grabs include:
- A €40 voucher to use towards one of the many cooking classes at The School of Food;
- Youth improv acting classes with TADA! – the Thomastown Academy of Dramatic Arts;
- A €20 voucher for Bassett’s Restaurant;
- Vouchers for various Thomastown cafés.
Funding for production of a winning reusable cup design has been made available through the Kilkenny County Council Waste Prevention Programme.
The deadline for entries is Saturday 26th May, 2018, so enter now! Competition entry forms are available to download here and hard copies can also be obtained from Thomastown Library. Completed artwork can be dropped off at Thomastown Library or emailed to thomastowncommunitynetwork@gmail.com.
