EVERYONE BELONGS

ACS UK Inclusion Art Competition 2026

What does belonging look like to you?

A place where everyone can be themselves.
A friend who makes space for you.
A world where being different doesn't mean being left out.

We want to see your answer — through art.

FROM NIGERIA TO THE UK 

It started in Nigeria.

Students used art to explore autism, acceptance and inclusion, creating work that sparked conversations beyond the classroom. Some of the winning artworks were later exhibited at the Horniman Museum and Gardens in London.

Now, the story continues.

ACS is bringing the Inclusion Art Competition to secondary school students across London.

THE THEME: EVERYONE BELONGS

There is no one way to belong. Show us what it means to you.

Maximum size: A3 (29.7 × 42 cm)

Medium: Any suitable medium

Eligibility: Secondary school students across London

Originality: Your artwork must be your own. No tracing, plagiarism or AI-generated artwork. 

 

This is an invitation to explore difference, acceptance, friendship and inclusion — and turn your perspective into something others can see, feel and remember.
