Eight-year-old Flynn McMorrow, a Leitrim student artist from St. Aidan’s National School, Rossinver, has won a top prize in this year’s 70th Texaco Children’s Art Competition.

Flynn won a Special Merit Award for his artwork, ‘Mowing The Meadow,’ which the Final Adjudicator Gary Granville, Professor Emeritus of Education at the National College of Art and Design, said “demonstrated high levels of skill and imagination.”

She also won Special Merit Awards last year and in 2022.
