We are exceptionally grateful to every student that took part in this year’s contest. More than 1,500 entries were submitted and represented a diverse selection of threatened, endangered, or recovered species. We hope that the experience of researching these species and creating the art was enriching for all involved.

  3. This is a wonderful idea! Great to see children using their talents for a great cause!
    I am an artist myself – and paint animals. I would like to do something using my art to help endangered animals. Not sure of the best way to do this? Was thinking of maybe doing a raffle for one of my paintings (of an endangered animal) on social media – and the proceeds going to help the animals? Not sure of the best way to go about this?
    Also, do you have contests for adult artists?
