Winners of the Kids Art Contest 2023

Announcing the winners of the 14th annual international kids art contest (2023) 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 216 artworks from countries around the world.

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

Here we showcase the winners in the 4 age groups (3-6, 7-9, 10-12, and 13-18.) Next week we will add new 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. Marc Yankus, Anita Kunz, Laura DiCerto, Barbara Slate, Franco Andreone, Debby DeVenezia and David Thuller-Veljacic.

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 (Water is Life), such as videos to watch. You can also read more about the judges.
