2009 Animal Inspired Art Contest

Get out your paints, pencils, pastels or other art supplies and create animal-inspired original art for the official, 2009 Lake Erie Nature & Science Center t-shirt design contest. The winner takes home $100 and a copy of the limited edition t-shirt featuring the first place design. All finalists will receive Walter R. Schuele Planetarium star show passes for four.

Designs must include 3 or more of the Center’s resident animals and be colorful, fun and kid-friendly. Check out the rest of the contest guidelines on the official entry form at this link and keep in mind that some guidelines have changed from last year's contest.

Our 2008 winner was a Westlake High School student but the contest is open to all ages! Entries must be submitted by February 28. The shirt with the winning design will debut for sale at the annual Family Fun Fest at Lake Erie Nature & Science Center on Sunday, June 7. Photocopied forms and multiple entries per person are acceptable. Artwork is not returned.

Finalists will be on display by mid March both at the Center and online in the Kids Corner Nature Art Gallery where you can also view last year's finalists. To weigh in and support your favorite finalist, stop by Lake Erie Nature & Science Center to fill out a ballot, leave a comment here on this blog or email info@lensc.org. The winner will be chosen and notified by March 31.
