Competing against entries from schools across the ISA network, students secured an impressive clean sweep — achieving First Place, Second Place, and a Highly Commended award in the category.
- First Place was awarded to Haoming (Zachary)

Haoming, who took first place, said:
“I’m so surprised to win! It is amazing news for me and I’m very happy. It was fun to make and I am proud to be the winner.”
Mustapha, who achieved second place, said:
“I am really pleased that my work has been recognised in this competition. This piece means a great deal to me, and I’m proud that more people will now have the chance to see and appreciate it.”
Sienna, whose work was highly commended, reflected on the inspiration behind her piece:
“The world can feel really uncertain for young people right now. Creating this work allowed me to support my friends in celebrating where they’re from, giving them a voice and a sense of pride. I’m so pleased to have been Highly Commended for it.”
The ISA Digital Arts Competition celebrates creativity and technical excellence in digital media, and this success highlights the exceptional talent and dedication of students in the photomanipulation discipline.
Staff are incredibly proud of all three students for their creativity, hard work, and outstanding achievement. Claire Rigby Head of Creative Arts commented. “Our continued success in the ISA Arts Competition is a source of great pride for both students and staff. It is always a joy to see their creativity recognised, and a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the dedication and hard work that has taken place throughout the year.”
