About the Art Competition...
The Help a Child Grow Art Competition aims to help children understand disability, including the needs and differences of children with disabilities, whilst emphasising the importance of fundamental similarities. Targeting primary school children, the project imparts key messages and values at an age when attitudes are shaped for life. While providing a fun, engaging and educational classroom activity, the Art Competition and associated teaching resources encourage children to focus on what peers with disabilities can do, not a perceived lack of ability or skills.Active throughout Western Australian primary schools for the past 10 years, the Art Competition has grown significantly from a modest 50 entries in its inaugural year, to more than 5,000 in recent years. Schools as far south as Albany and as far north as the Pilbara have embraced the key messages of the Art Competition, submitting colourful and creative works of art.
