Fabiola Vieira, WildArt project spokesperson for the Irish Wildlife Trust, expressed her enthusiasm, emphasising the enchanting beauty of autumn in Ireland’s woodlands. “We’re thrilled to announce the return of the Irish Wildlife Trust WildArt Competition. Autumn is a truly magical season in our woodlands, and we can’t wait to celebrate the wonders it brings. WildArt 2023 invites children to explore these natural havens, to immerse themselves in Irish woodlands, and to set their imaginations free. Through their artistry, we aim to foster a profound connection with our precious natural heritage.” Vieira stated.

There are four age categories in the competition with a prize for the winner in each category. The age categories are 6 and under; 7 to 9; 10 to 13 and 14 to 16 years.
