The Directorate for STEM and VET Programmes proudly celebrated young creative talent during the Digital Art Competition 2025 Awards Ceremony, which took place on the 15th of May 2025. Organised by the Vocational and Applied Programmes Unit, this fifth edition of the competition saw the participation of 144 students from both state and non-state schools, ranging from Year 1 to Year 11.
Students submitted original digital artwork based on one of three inspiring themes: Fashion, Patterns, or Nature. Their impressive submissions showcased not only their creativity but also their ability to communicate through the medium of digital art.
The awards ceremony was held in the presence of Director General DCLE, Mr Jude Zammit, and Director DSYP, Ms Melanie Casha Sammut, who presented certificates of participation to all students. Winners in each category received a framed copy of their digital artwork and a book token in recognition of their achievement.
