Announcing the winners of the 16th annual international kids art contest (2025) 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 hundreds of artworks from dozens of 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: Biodiversity Loss.

Below we showcase the winners in the age groups (3-6, 7-9, 10-12, and 13-18.) By March, 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. John Cichowski, Debra Jason, Andrea Raphael, Marc Burckhardt, Tina Maneca, and Gail Zavian.

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