Someone Like Me 2025 Awards Ceremony Reel

We had such an enjoyable day at our Awards Ceremony celebrating the County Winners of our annual Someone Like Me Art Competition. Our audience got to hear from our fantastic guest speaker Niamh Moriarty, who shared her insights as an actor and a wheelchair user. We also had entertainment from ‪@DonkingRongavilla‬ who provided us with a lively dance session!
Most importantly, we had the great variety of artwork, audio visual and 3D pieces on display from all of our winning county entrants in our exhibition space. Finally, we crowned our overall National Junior and Senior winners, chosen out of a whopping 2,708 entries received in this year's competition. To date, more than 25,000 children have taken part in the #SomeoneLikeMe Art Competition. Schools are provided with special curriculum-linked lesson plans and activities designed to help pupils develop an awareness and understanding of visible and non-visible disabilities, drawing on their own personal experiences of disability in a bid to help create a more inclusive society.
