The world is passing through one of it's toughest times in recent years. A pandemic which is showing no signs of conclusion. While people around the world are hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel while being stuck indoors, Highlander Brigade, a supporters' club of North East United FC organized a painting competition as part of our off-season activity and also to let people show their creative skills. The competition was opened to all, not just our members. There were two categories of the competition, hand painting and digital painting. However, a participant could choose only one of the two categories. The theme of the competition was anything related to "North East United FC and it's football fan culture". The winner of both the categories won one matchday ticket to any one home match of NEUFC and a chance to enjoy the game alongside the Highlander Brigade at the South East Stand in the next season.
