The Texas General Land Office (GLO) will be inviting all Texas students (public, private, and home-schooled) in grades K-6 to participate in the 28th Annual Treasures of the Texas Coast Children’s Art Contest. Artwork should be based on the theme “Treasures of the Texas Coast” and should depict why the Texas coast is important or special to the student. The purpose of this contest is to encourage young artists to learn about natural resources along the Texas Coast.

Ten winners will be chosen in mid-April from each of four grade-level categories (K – 2nd, 3rd – 4th, 5th, and 6th) for a total of 40 winners. One grand prize winner will be chosen from among the 40 finalists. Winning artwork will appear together in a 2025 calendar, which will be distributed throughout the state.

Prize sponsors for the Art Contest will have their logos printed in the calendar, as well as posted online. In addition they will be listed (along with their prizes) in the Art Contest flyer and entry form that is distributed to 7,000+ schools across Texas.
