Taking home the award for 2025/2026, our Overall Highly Commended National Winner for the Someone Like Me Art Competition was...Katie Dillon and her classmates from Spa National School, Kerry. 😀😀😀
This was a colourful entry which centres on the question ‘Is there SomeoneLike Me?’ Showcasing a web of activities, this thought-provoking artwork celebrates the similarities a pupil living with a disability shares with her classmates.

Taking home the trophy for 2025/2026, our Overall Senior Winner for the Someone Like Me Art Competition was...Muslim National School Dublin!! 😀😀😀
An inspiring project which invites us all to see the world through another’s eyes, and asks us to walk with empathy, understanding, and kindness. Being aware that there are visible and invisible disabilities, and others face challenges that can’t always be seen.

Taking home the trophy for 2025/2026, our Overall Junior National Winner for the Someone Like Me Art Competition was
2nd Class St. Ethchens NS in Westmeath!!! 😀😀😀
These pupils did fantastic work in trying to see the world through the eyes of someone living with a disability, and more importantly to recognize and respect the experience of those with additional needs. In particular, the children’s understanding of accessibility within their community was very impressive!
