BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. — Wildlife Forever is pleased to announce the completion of the new “Fish On!” State-Fish Art Contest, CD-ROM curriculum. Free copies are available to students, teachers, anglers and anyone interested in youth aquatic-conservation education.
“Fish On!” highlights the Wildlife Forever State-Fish Art Contest, showcasing unique lesson-plan activities, artwork and the opportunity to win prizes and national recognition while learning about state-fish species, aquatic habitats, invasive species and conservation. The State-Fish Art Contest uses art to capture children’s imagination while teaching aquatic-resource stewardship.
The State-Fish Art Contest is open to all students in grades 4 through 12. Winning artists from each state – grade categories 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12 – will be invited to attend the national Expo to receive prizes, trophies and recognition.
Entries must be postmarked by March 31. Winners are announced in May.
To enter, young artists nationwide must create an illustration of their chosen state fish. A short written composition on its behavior, habitat and conservation needs is also required.
