Tuscarora Wildlife Education Project Annual Art Contest:
Call for Students Grades 9 - 12 & Adult Artists
T.W.E.P. will again be sponsoring its annual “Wildlife Art Show.” Artwork submitted must feature wildlife or natural scenery that would be seen in any part of the world.
Artwork submitted must be flat two dimensional work, can be in any media (except photography), and has no size limitations. Please ensure artwork is original and not copied from other artists’ work. There are three divisions: middle school grades (grades 6, 7, and 8), high school (grades 9 - 12), and adult. Monetary awards will be given to the top three in the high school and adult division. The school students may ONLY submit pieces that feature wildlife. Judging is done by a group of local artists.
Art teachers will find an entry form attached (can be copied as needed). Please follow the rules closely. Reply emails stating the desire to participate should be returned by February 1. As works are completed, be sure that all entry forms are securely attached to the back of each piece of artwork. Click for: Rules and regulations and invitation.
Area artists can download the entry form from our website at www.twep.org/events.html.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please contact the Charles Brightbill Environmental Center (717) 328-2126. We hope that you will encourage your students and be part of this show. TWEP is a nonprofit group dedicated to educating today’s youth about our wildlife, so this is a great opportunity to connect your program to events with this unique organization.
