    Isleworth Madonna Competition

    Take the Isleworth Madonna Quiz and you might win one of three rare University of Isleworth polo shirts emblazoned with the University arms.

    Although most of the answers can be found in the text of Isleworth Madonna, all the answers are also available on the internet, including some on this website and Anton de Moresco’s home page.

    The competition will close on 25 May and the winners will be sent their shirts shortly afterwards. The judges’ decision will be final.
