To complement the Behind the Lines: The Year's Best Cartoons exhibition, the National Museum of Australia invited upper primary and secondary school students from the Australian Capital Territory and regional New South Wales to enter a political cartooning competition entitled Drawing the Lines.

All entries received were of a very high standard with a strong focus on current political issues.
