Young artists who submitted entries to this year's Texaco Children's Art Competition, including a number from Offaly, are currently having their works evaluated as the judging process gets underway.

Pictured above is adjudicator Dr Denise Ferran admiring two of the entries received from Co. Offaly this year – a work entitled 'Devastation of War' by a pupil from Coláiste Iosagain Portarlington (left) and another entitled 'Limitless Love' by a pupil from St Brendan's Community School, Birr.

Winners in the seven age categories, including one exclusively for artworks by young artists with special needs, will be announced in mid-April.

Currently in its 69th 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.
