BOISE, Idaho — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan wants local K-12 kids to enter an artwork contest for updating logos on salmon fish transportation tanks.
Every year 12 million salmon and steelhead smolts are released into the Lower Snake River, but they can't swim there, they are transported in big tanks. The winners of the contest will have their art on the fish tanks.
Contest Guidelines:
- Grab your ink, paint, pastel, pencil or crayon and an 8.5 x 11-inch to 8 x 14-inch paper
- Portray a Pacific salmon or steelhead for the future!
- Include a name, address, grade level, and parent phone number
- Must be original student artwork
- Artwork will be judged in 4 categories: K-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12 grade levels
- Best of Show will be digitized for the next school of fish on the fish transport trucks
Contestants send, or submit in-person, their art to Tanya Wiley, Lower Snake River Compensation Plan, 1387 S Vinnell Way, Boise, ID 83709. People should not fold art they are submitting to keep the integrity of the work and the deadline is March 1, 2024.
