Contest for Kids K-12: Entries Due Monday, April 24, 2023

Teachers: Celebrate Endangered Species Day (May 19) by having your classroom participate in the 2023 Marine Endangered Species Art Contest!

Endangered and threatened species need our help. Students’ artwork will showcase their knowledge and commitment to protecting these animals. While we are located in the New England and the mid-Atlantic United States, we invite participants from anywhere in the world to submit entries!

Artwork should highlight one or more marine endangered or threatened species from the New England/Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Text highlighting why the animals are important and what people can do to protect them may also be included. Potential themes may vary by age. Some ideas include animals in their natural habitat, sharing the shore and sea, threats to the species, or how we can help them recover. Another possible theme this year is the 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act.

Get the details on entry requirements, entry submissions, prizes, and more on our web page. Good luck!
