Following the launch of the LGBTI+ National Youth Strategy in June 2018, Dr Katherine Zappone, TD and Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, has announced a competition to design an LGBTI+ Welcome Sticker for display in sports clubs, cultural bodies, arts organisations, youth groups, businesses and more so they can declare their support for diversity and the inclusion of LGBTI+ people.

Open for all up to the age of 24, the goal is to create an original design which demonstrates support for the LGBTI+ community. Designs can be hand-drawn or computer-drawn and should reflect the LGBTI+ National Youth Strategy mission of “visible, valued and included”.

The design must be original and should not be bigger than A5. Only one entry per person is permitted. No group entries will be accepted and the closing date for entry is January 14 2019. The submissions will be assessed by a selection committee and the winning design will be widely displayed in organisations and services throughout Ireland. A prize will also be awarded to the winner by Minister Zappone and honorary mentions will be given to other designs in select categories.
