Art At The Ridge is delighted to announce the winners of the island’s 2014 children’s Christmas card competition.  This long-running and popular annual art competition is open to all schools in Antigua & Barbuda.  Artwork is judged in six age categories, ranging from ages 7 to 19.

  As always, this competition showcases the high standard of our island’s artistic talents from a very young age, and some earlier winners have since gone on to join the island’s well-known and thriving art community.  The winning Christmas cards are printed on island and are currently on sale at Art At The Ridge, Chippy Antigua and Sea Island Trading.   Thanks to all sponsors of this competition – Alltype Construction, Chef’s World, Chippy Antigua, Coconut Grove Restaurant, Harper’s Office Depot, Lolita’s, North Sound Marine Services Ltd, Toy Box Ltd.   Congratulations to all winners and runners-up!
