Event summary

Highlights

Features photography from local secondary school students
Themes focused on positive mental health and active lifestyles
Organized by the Athlone Drug Awareness Group
Public display held at Athlone Library

This exhibition serves as the public culmination of a creative competition aimed at celebrating positive lifestyle choices among young people. Organized by the Athlone Drug Awareness Group, the initiative invited secondary school students from across the region to submit imagery reflecting their personal interpretations of healthy living. Participating schools included Coláiste Chiaráin, Athlone Community College, and Our Lady's Bower.

The featured photographs explore diverse subjects such as sport, movement, nature, and artistic creativity. By hosting the display at Athlone Library, the organizers provided the community an opportunity to view the perspectives of local students and recognize their photographic talent. The exhibition followed a formal recognition of winners that occurred earlier in the spring during the launch of the group's digital platforms.
