Contest to Highlight Invasive Species

Washington high schoolers can win up to $500 from the Department of Fish and Wildlife in a digital art contest featuring invasive species, cosponsored with Washington Invasive Species Council. The purpose of the contest is to raise awareness about plants, animals, and other organisms that originate outside the state and disrupt the natural environment causing environmental and economic harm. Winning art entries will be used to decorate a WDFW trailer that will travel the state to raise awareness of nonnative species. The contest is open through December 31. The first-place winner will receive a $500 Amazon gift card. A second-place winner will receive a $300 Amazon gift card. Full contest rules are available online.
