The Texaco Children’s Art Competition, now in its 71st year, is accepting entries from young artists across Roscommon until Friday, 28th of February 2025.
Recognised as Ireland’s longest-running arts sponsorship, the competition celebrates creativity among children and teenagers. Participants are divided into six categories based on age and open to those as old as 18 years. There is also an additional category for those with special needs.
In last year’s competition, Charley Bell, a 17-year-old student from Methodist College Belfast, was honoured as the overall winner for her portrait titled ‘Anticipation’. She was the first ever back-to-back overall winner of the Texaco Children’s Art Competition. Charley got the top prize of €1,500 for the second year in a row.
Teachers and students interested in participating can find further details, including entry forms and submission guidelines, on the official competition website: www.texacochildrensart.com.
