Fall Migration is Peak Time for Songbird Art Contest

As the leaves change and birds take flight on their annual fall migration, the 2024 Songbird Art Contest is calling for young artists to capture the beauty and wonder of these migratory songbirds before they leave for the season. Open to K-12 students, the contest offers a unique opportunity to spotlight the journey of some of North America’s most captivating species:

  • American Goldfinch
  • Brown-headed Nuthatch
  • Cerulean Warbler
  • Scarlet Tanager
  • Scissor-tailed Flycatcher

To compete, students in kindergarten through 12th grade must choose one species from the Bird List, research it, and create a unique, hand-done art piece featuring their chosen songbird. Additionally, students in 4th grade and above must submit a short creative writing piece related to their species and its conservation needs.

Much like the birds on their fall migration, time is fleeting! Young artists are encouraged to submit their artwork by November 30th, 2024
