The free contest is accessible to students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Each year, thousands of entries pour in from across the globe, reflecting the program’s widespread appeal and impact on youth.

“The Fish Art Contest offers a unique opportunity to connect students to the outdoors through science and creative art. Through hands-on learning, students may explore the beauty of the natural world while learning about the importance of conservation”, said Veronica Mangio, Marketing & Communications Manager at Wildlife Forever. 

How to Participate:

  • Step 1: Select a Fish Species: Students choose a fish species to research, focusing on its habitat, behavior, and conservation needs. Certain states have specific entry guidelines.
  • Step 2: Create Original Art: After conducting research, students create an original, handmade creation of their chosen fish(s). All physical mediums are welcome.
  • Step 3: Write About It (4th Grade and Above): Students in 4th grade and above are also required to submit a one-page creative writing piece that reflects what they have learned about their selected species.
  • Step 4: Submit Online: Entries are submitted through the Fish Art Contest entry form page.

The 2024-25 contest is open for submissions until February 28th, 2025. Participants can find more information, educational resources, and submission guidelines at www.FishArt.org. Contact Veronica at VMangio@wildlifeforever.org for any questions or concerns.
