Get to Know art contest!
Innovative Contest Challenges Youth to Connect with Nature

In an unprecedented collaboration, over 30 major organizations have joined forces to invite young Americans to discover nature by entering the Robert Bateman Get to Know Contest. These partners include the U.S Forest Service, U.S Fish & Wildlife Service, National Wildlife Federation, the Children & Nature Network, the Wyland Foundation, and many others. The Get to Know Contest invites any American age 18 or younger to go outdoors, to "get to know" their wild neighbors, and then to share their experience by creating art, writing, or photography. Winners will receive wild prizes, including the publication of their work in a calendar, a weeklong stay in one of Canada's national parks, VIP invitations to special events, LA Dodgers tickets, and more.

The contest theme for this year is "forests," and entries will be accepted until November 30. To learn more and find out how to enter, visit www.gettoknow.ca.
