Erie MetroParks & Firelands Audubon Society Presents

2024 Ohio Wildlife Youth Art Contest

Erie MetroParks is excited to partner with Firelands Audubon Society in offering the third annual Ohio Wildlife Youth Art Contest. We see and are inspired by nature every day when we visit our local parks and get outside to explore! Art is a fantastic way to bring awareness to our local species, express ourselves creatively, and share the wonder of Ohio’s wildlife with others.

We encourage you to participate and we are so excited to see the art from our Erie and Huron County youth. Please click on the links below to view the CONTEST RULES and to print out the ENTRY FORM. Entries must be submitted by April 5, 2024. Good luck and have fun!
