The competition is in partnership with with The Heritage Council and the Heritage Officers Programme, Inland Fisheries Ireland, and Waterways Ireland.
According to Aoife McGrath, LAWPRO's Community Water Officer based in Kildare, the aim is to encourage all the members of families to get involved. The competition is open to everyone, with entries accepted in English or Irish. The closing date is 31 May 2020.
She notes that Kildare’s rivers, lakes, streams and canals have long been associated with Irish mythology, inspiring legends and folklore through the ages. "They are beautiful, forever changing with the seasons. Nature is at its best where there is water, and people have lots of stories and memories around watercourses."
The stories can be factual — recording what is special about wildlife, fishing, heritage, traditions and crafts, or just how things were or are — or they can be from your own or someone else’s imagination.
