Ability Links NSW invited public schools from across the Hunter and Central Coast regions to take part in the challenge.
Seven schools from the Cessnock area answered the call, and their works are on display at PCYC Cessnock this week.
Entries including paintings, drawings, sculptures and digital presentations exploring the theme “What inclusion means to me”.
Cessnock and Mount View High Schools, along with Kearsley, Kurri Kurri, Millfield and Pelaw Main primary schools and Stanford Merthyr Infants School took part in the challenge.
These schools will now have the chance to win up to $9000 in prizemoney that will be used to build the school's capacity to be inclusive of people with disabilities.
The prize draw will take place on Wednesday morning.
The exhibition will run until Friday and all are welcome.
