Last year’s winner was five-year-old Grace Chapman, from Hartlepoool, who enjoyed a fantastic day out with her family thanks to her artistic skills.
Redcar’s general manager Amy Fair said: “Every year, we are really impressed by the artistic talents of local children, so we look forward to receiving the entries for this year’s competition.
