State Fish Art Contest kicks off now

Be sure to encourage your young artist(s) to enter the annual Wildlife Forever State-Fish Art contest.

This contest is open to kids in Grades K-12 but the deadline for entries is March 31st – so, don’t wait too long to start creating!

Students across the United States and internationally have the opportunity to win prizes and recognition while learning about state-fish species, behaviors, aquatic habitats, and conservation.  Using art, the State-Fish Art Contest ignites children’s imagination while teaching them about fish and fishing.

There are a few new award categories for the 2020 contest, including the Fish Migration Award and the Guy Harvey Award. Contestants may choose to apply in just the State-Fish Art Contest or in any of the additional award categories or both. More info about award categories found at https://www.wildlifeforever.org/home/state-fish-art/award-categories/.

To enter, young artists create an original illustration of their chosen fish from the official State-Fish List. Please note, if entering any of the additional award categories, be sure your entry meets all necessary requirements.

All Georgia contestants must complete the Georgia-specific entry form and those entries are due postmarked by March 31, 2020 to Marion Baker/Go Fish Education Center (1255 Perry Parkway, Perry, GA 31069). Entry form can be found at https://www.wildlifeforever.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Georgia-SFA-Entry-Form-EDITABLE.pdf.
