Three Chapelizod students were amongst 36 young Dublin artists to have won top prizes in this year’s 66th Texaco Children’s Art Competition. They were Joshua McGarry (age 14) for his work entitled ‘Football Turkey’; Roslyn Mudavassery (14) for her work entitled ‘A Beautiful Peacock Feather’ and Jordan Cooney (14) for his work entitled ‘ Viserion’. All three are pupils at St. Michael’s School, Chapelizod. All were winners of Special Merit Awards for artworks that Final Adjudicator, Professor Declan McGonagle said: “were imaginative and displayed high levels of skill”.

With the onset of Covid-19, the Competition had to be extended over a longer period this year with delays to the final adjudication process and the announcement of winners. As a result, activities normally undertaken during April and May – traditionally, the introduction of winners to the media and the formal presentation of prizes – had to be set aside as a consequence of which prizes will be delivered by hand without the possibility of an awards ceremony.
