The Fish Art Contest was inspired in 1997 by a 5th grader’s homework assignment and has grown into an international competition introducing young people to the wonders of fish, the joy of fishing, and the importance of aquatic conservation. The Fish Art Contest uses art, science, and creative writing to foster connections to the outdoors and inspire the next generation of stewards.
The Fish Art Contest is open to all youth in grades K-12 (ages 5-18). To compete participants will submit an entry consisting of a completed entry form, an original illustration of a fish from the Official Fish List, and a one-page creative writing submission (required for grades 4-12).
