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.
Among the entries received from Derry this year is a work entitled ‘Wind in my Hair' by a pupil from St. Colum's Primary School Portstewart and another entitled ‘Eyes of the World’ by a pupil from St Cecilia's College, Derry.
Winners in six age categories plus one category reserved exclusively for young artists with additional needs, will be announced in mid-April.
Now celebrating its 71st 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.
