The ISA National Art Competition takes place annually, inviting participation from all pupils at ISA 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'.
The National Finals, second stage of the competition, will coincide with the ISA Autumn Study Conference on 18-19 November 2026 at the Chesford Grange Hotel, Kenilworth. All first placed entries from the seven ISA regions must be sent to the final event on 18 November by 11am at the lastest and will be judged by an independent adjudicator.
