The competition aims to dispel the myth that people with autism cannot be creative and to show that art can significantly improve their quality of life, facilitating experiential-based learning and instilling life-long skills.  There are great prizes up for grabs - from digital cameras to video cameras to art supplies - and don't forget that both the winning individual and school get a prize!
