Someone Like Me Art Awards 2026
Get Involved!
#SomeoneLikeMe Art Awards are all about celebrating diversity and disability awareness in primary schools across the country. We’re inviting your school to get involved and mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on 3 December in a creative way.
This year, we’re making things exciting with the theme: 'All Together'.
We’ve got all the resources you’ll need to help your pupils explore disability and inclusion, and yes, there are some amazing prizes up for grabs for your school!
