2022-2023 #SomeoneLikeMe Overall National Winner

The Overall National Winner for the #SomeoneLikeMe Art Competition 2022-2023 has been chosen! 
Congratulations to Jake Hoen Galvin from Lisnagry National School in Co. Limerick who took home the top prize for the Competition this year. 
The judges found that this entry was an amazing piece
which captures the sentiment of disability as an ‘ability’, the artist of this piece
wants us to know that we all have unique talents and passions, we only have to
look for them. 
Jake’s self-portrait is inspired by Picasso! The music notes in his pupils represent how hypnotised he becomes when he listens to music.

 

2022-2023 #SomeoneLikeMe Highly Commended Winner

Congratulations to 1st class pupils of Our Lady Immaculate National School, Co. Dublin for being selected as the Highly Commended Recipient for the #SomeoneLikeMe Art Competition 2022-2023!
Pupils in this class explored how they are different to each other on the inside and out! The flaps of the portrait’s heads can be lifted to reveal how students think and act differently. It was clear to the judges that not only was this a talented class but also a group that learnt a lot from their lesson plans and captured it well in their art piece.
