There is still time to enter the 2010 Endangered Species Art Contest!
The nationwide Endangered Species Day Art contest provides students with an opportunity to learn about endangered species and express their knowledge and support through artwork.
The deadline for submissions is March 26th, so submit your endangered species artwork soon! See below for link to guidelines and rules...
This art contest is open to students in grades K through 12. Judging will take place in four categories, K-Grade 2, Grades 3-6, Grades 7-9, Grades 10-12, with one national winner being chosen from the semi-finalists in these four categories.
Endangered Species Day is a celebration of our nation’s wildlife and wild places, and was started in 2006 by the United States Congress. The annual art contest is an integral part of the fifth annual national Endangered Species Day, May 21, 2010. The contest’s winner will be honored with their name engraved on a special trophy designed by a gifted young artist, Meredith Graf of New Orleans, LA and will also be recognized at a reception in Washington, D.C. in May, 2010.

The contest is organized by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Endangered Species Coalition, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art/ University of New Orleans.
This is not truly an art contest BTW. Every year good pieces of artwork get passed up for mediocre artwork. Same thing happened this year. I seriously don't know what the judges criteria are.
