Art Contest -- Get To Know Your Wild Neighbors!

In Canada, the Robert Bateman Get to Know Program has been inspiring connections between children and nature for over a decade. Now, the program has come to the USA. In partnership with GET TO KNOW, Artsonia invites you to submit your student artwork to the "2009 Get To Know Your Wild Neighbors" art contest.

This year's contest theme is FORESTS! Celebrate the wonders of nature by creating art or photography about the plants or animals that can be found in forests or your neighborhood (domestic animals like cats, dogs or horses dont count).
