A Kerry primary school pupil has won a national award for an art project inspired by his imagination.
DJ Poff, from Boheshill National School in Glencar, won the top prize at this year’s “Imagine the Future” final, from National Broadband Ireland.
The competition invited students of 679 schools within the area covered by the National Broadband Plan to create a piece of art to represent the future of a world with high-speed broadband.

DJ’s project imagined a world of hydro-powered cars, solar-powered shoes, and homes built on raised platforms to allow plants and animals to live freely in their natural habitats.
He was presented with his prize by NBI Chairman David McCourt, while his classmate Colin O’Shea also won a prize at the awards.
