State Fish Art Contest for Kids

An Art Contest For Kids!

Entering contests is a great way to give children a goal to work toward as well as a chance to win some nice prizes (they can’t win if they don’t enter). Drawing and painting contests are subjective, as people’s preferences in art vary, but it’s good practice nonetheless.

Wildlife Forever is sponsoring the State Fish Contest for children in grades four to twelve. Students can choose any state fish, not just their own, and create a picture of it. Any two-dimensional media can be used, including pencil, pen, crayon, watercolor, acrylics, etc.

There are three winners from each state, one for grades 4 - 6, one for grades 7 - 9, and one for grades 10 - 12. Get started, kids! The deadline for entering this year is March 31.

What are the State Fish? You can find them at Netstate.com. Wildlife Forever also has them listed by the individual states. These pages also provide other information about the fish, such as identifying features, habitat, feeding behavior, and more. For a complete listing of rules and prizes, go to StateFishArt.com.
