Louth children invited to get creative this summer with Irish Ferries’ Limericks for Kids competition
Irish Ferries is inviting children from across Louth to get creative with the launch of Limericks for Kids, an initiative to encourage creativity and storytelling, while celebrating the wonder of ferry travel with an amazing prize pot worth over €10,000.
In a bid to ditch the screens and get creative, Irish Ferries invites children to submit their very own limericks on the theme: A Ferry Good Holiday. By entering the competition, which will run until October 31, young would-be writers will have the chance to win big from Irish Ferries prize fund of over €10,000.
With lots of monthly prizes and an amazing grand prize of a €2,000 Irish Ferries voucher, children can showcase their creativity for a chance to win fantastic prizes across two age categories: 9 years and under, and 10-15 years.
Speaking about Limericks for Kids, Irish Ferries Consumer Marketing & Sales Director Nora Costello said: “Limericks are one of the most playful ways to get children into writing; there’s no pressure, just imagination and a good sense of humour.
“This is a great opportunity to spark creativity and give families something really positive to get involved in together this summer. Perhaps we’ll uncover the next generation of young poets.”
Entries, comprising a five-line poem on the theme of holidays or travel, can be submitted on the Irish Ferries new mobile app, their website, by email to [email protected] or onboard any of Irish Ferries’ sailings until October 31st.
Perfect for families seeking inspiration, entertainment and a creative outlet for children, Limericks for Kids is set to become a highlight of the summer calendar.
