Art Competition Winners Awarded KES 3 Million

Jubilee Life Insurance has granted 10 young artists full secondary school scholarships worth KES 3 million after they topped the firm’s 2024 Art Competition.

This year’s competition received a record 13,000 submissions from 26 counties, including 90 entries from children in the special needs category.

Speaking at the awards event and launch of the 2025 edition, Jubilee Life Insurance CEO Asman Mugambi said the initiative has grown into a platform that not only celebrates creativity but also shapes character and values in young learners.

“Financial literacy is a foundational life skill. When nurtured early, its impact lasts a lifetime,” said Mr. Mugambi. “We believe children are key stakeholders in building a financially informed society.”

Now in its fifth year, the competition supports the creative economy, contributes to sustainable development, and promotes cultural growth. It also aligns with Jubilee’s mission to boost financial literacy by engaging children through art.

“Through this initiative, we’re empowering the next generation to make smart choices,” Mr. Mugambi added. “Our investment supports stronger families, more resilient communities, and a brighter financial future for the country.”

A Creative Path to Financial Literacy

The 2025 edition, themed “Art of Saving,” will encourage children to think about the value of saving and how consistent habits can build a secure future.

Art helps children absorb complex ideas by presenting them in a relatable and memorable way. This initiative merges creativity with financial education, making lessons stick while building confidence and critical thinking.

Grade One to Grade Four pupils are eligible to participate. They may submit original artwork in forms like painting, drawing, collage, or mixed media. Children are encouraged to use materials such as crayons, coloured pencils, ink, charcoal, or any other locally available tools.

All entries must be hand-delivered or couriered to Jubilee Insurance’s head office by 20th July 2025. The company will announce the awards ceremony date soon.

Jubilee Holdings Chairman Zul Abdul emphasized that the competition is more than a talent showcase. It’s a forward-looking investment in Kenya’s future.

“We’re using our expertise to support young learners because we believe in their power to shape the country’s future,” said Mr. Abdul. “This initiative nurtures both talent and financial responsibility, two crucial ingredients for national growth.”

Jubilee Holdings Group CEO Dr. Julius Kipng’etich also acknowledged the Ministry of Education’s role in supporting such efforts. He stressed the importance of strong partnerships in delivering meaningful results.

“I applaud Jubilee Life Insurance for investing in youth development,” he said. “By working with the Ministry, we’re helping children explore their potential. Integrating the arts into the curriculum unlocks their creativity and builds a more innovative, resilient future for Kenya.”
