Dundalk students compete for art awards
The Texaco Children’s Art Competition judging process gets underway.
Young artists who submitted entries to this year’s Texaco Children’s Art Competition are currently having their works evaluated as the judging process gets underway.
Pictured is adjudicator, Marie Connole admiring two of the entries received from Dundalk this year – a work entitled ‘Solar System’ (left) and another entitled ‘RMS Olympic’, both by pupils from Dundalk Grammar School.
Winners in the seven age categories, including one exclusively for artworks by young artists with special needs, will be announced in mid-April.
Now celebrating its 70th year, the Texaco Children’s Art Competition is the longest-running art sponsorship in Ireland. First held in 1955, it is hosted by Valero Energy (Ireland) Limited – the company that markets fuel in Ireland under the Texaco brand.
