Program Overview

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission and Wildlife Forever have joined together to promote conservation awareness and catch the imagination of young artists. The contest encourages young artists to create an illustration of their chosen state fish. The illustration must be accompanied by a written composition on its behavior, habitat and conservation needs.

Arkansas students in grades K-12 are invited to enter the annual State Fish Art Contest. The contest is held each spring with entries being accepted in March and winners announced in May.

Contestants must draw or paint an official state fish from any state and write a one-page composition about its behavior, habitat or conservation.

One Arkansas winner will be selected for each of four grade levels:

Grades K-3
Grades 4-6
Grades 7-9
Grades 10-12
