The ISA is indebted to its seven Area Art Coordinators, who enthusiastically administer, run and organise the local competition in their areas, with the generous support of their schools.

The pieces illustrated in this booklet qualified for Nationals by winning the class at one of the regional competitions. If your school did not take part in 2020, please contact your Regional Art Coordinator to find out more about participation in 2021.
