Announcing the winners of the 15th annual international kids art contest (2024) hosted by Frogs Are Green. Thank you to all the students who participated, helping us showcase what children are thinking and learning about. We received a total of 533 artworks from over 30 countries.

There was incredible variety in the materials used as well as subject matter. The galleries show very thoughtful images about this year’s theme: Protect Coral Reefs.

Below we showcase the winners in the age groups (3-6, 7-9, 10-12, and 13-18.) By February 15th, we will add more galleries for the sub-categories, such as: best environmental art; best black and white art; best 3D art, etc.

A big thank you to the judges for this year who had a difficult job in choosing from so many wonderful pieces. Diane Lingenfelter, Debra Olshever, Tina Maneca, Andy Levine, Peter Thorpe, Jerome China, Amy Neufeld and Steve Szynal.

Here is the original contest page which has the links to the 4 Flickr galleries of all the children’s art submitted and more information about this year’s theme (Protect Coral Reefs), such as videos to watch. You can also read more about the judges.
