State Fish-Art Contest Continues through March 31
Our friends at Wildlife Forever have announced the 15th anniversary of the state-fish art contest.
Students across the United States have the opportunity to win prizes and national recognition while learning about state-fish species, aquatic habitats, and conservation. The contest is open to all students in grades K through 12. The first place winning artists will be invited to a national ceremony to be personally recognized on stage.
Entries must by postmarked by March 31, 2013. Winners will be announced by May 3, 2013. To enter, students must create an original illustration of their chosen state-fish (in Arizona it is the Apache trout). A personal one page written essay, story or poem on its behavior, habitat and conservation needs is also required for older students.
Educators and parents can visit www.statefishart.org for complete details and to download a free lesson plan.
