Niamh Ni Iceadha , Age 16

12-16 Winner, 2015 overall

---

Niamh who spends much of her time drawing, found out about the awards whilst searching for art competitions in her spare time and, with so many ideas coming to her mind, had a tough time deciding on one concept. Instead, she found a way to incorporate all of the energy saving tips she found whilst researching into just one piece. Through her detailed work, Niamh aims to show how making small changes within the home - such as turning off the TV, and recycling - can make a huge difference to energy efficiency.

"I really enjoyed coming up with all my ideas for the drawing, and it was really interesting to find out about all the changes we could make to help make a difference. Sinc emy little brother saw my piece he's become really interested in the environment. He has started researching ways to save energy and has been telling his friends all about it."
