Junk Kouture 2020 Pres entries

The Art room in Presentation Secondary School Castleisland was a hive of activity in preparation for the Junk Kouture competition this year, with five teams consisting of fifteen Transition Year students entering Junk Kouture and one 5th year student Ian O Neill from St. Patrick’s Secondary School.

Junk Kouture is a country wide competition in its tenth year this year, which is open to secondary school students where they get the opportunity to design construct and model their own creations, all made from recycled, once used materials.

This is the 4th year Presentation Secondary has entered the competition reaching the Southern Regional Finals in University Concert Hall Limerick each year and the Grand Final in the 3 Arena
last year
This year Presentation Secondary designs include ‘I’m Peeling Good’ a creation made from dried orange peels , ‘Hung Up On You’ used hangers and suit bags, ‘Stuck In Time’ made from broken jewelry, old clock parts and cans , ‘Zero Gravitea’ made from ‘out of date’ tea bags and milk cartons and also ‘Out of CTRL’ a design made from used computer parts and keys from a keyboard. Last years grand final contestant Ian O Neill (Currow) who studies Art in Presentation Secondary is back with a bang this year with his creation ‘Sofanum’ made entirely from an old couch.

‘Stuck in Time’ modelled by Leah Pidgeon, with team mates, Maggie O Callaghan and Saoirse Mc Carthy, and ‘Sofanum’ by Ian O Neill, were successful in getting to the Southern Regional Finals in University Concert Hall in UL on the 6th of March last, which saw eighty regional finalists battle it out on the stage.
