The Paint Reuse Network is excited to bring back the Colour to Communities Giveaway, offering communities across Ireland the chance to win up to 50 litres of high-quality, reused paint to brighten their local spaces.

The competition is open to schools, charities, social enterprises, and community groups with creative ideas to give their areas a fresh, vibrant look while promoting sustainability. Three winners – two from each of Ireland’s National Waste Regions – will receive up to 50 litres of free water-based paint to bring their projects to life.

Previous winners have transformed their community spaces with biodiversity murals, refreshed school walls, and collaborative paint projects.

How to Enter
Submit a short description of your proposed community painting project by 15 May 2026. Winners will be announced by the end of May!
