The 91ÆÞÓÑ National Art Competition takes place annually, inviting participation from all pupils at 91ÆÞÓÑ schools. It is an excellent platform for schools to showcase their students’ artistic talents and for teachers to share innovative practice and ideas. The competition is held in two stages – the Area Art Competitions and the National Final (all events in person). There are dozens of categories which cover all age groups and multiple genres, including 2D and 3D art, textiles, drawing, fashion and photography.

This competition includes regional qualifying competitions events. Not sure which area your school is in? Check here by clicking 'Map View'.
