CHILDREN'S WINTER ART COMPETITION
Marvel at the creativity of Dublin's young artists

As part of ‘Dublin City Council Dublin Winter Lights 2025’, Dublin City Council invited children to take part in an exciting Winter Art Competition. The winning artworks are projected at Barnardo Square on Dame Street during the month of December. You can see the entries by playing the animation below. This year, over 1,000 entries were received.
