Calling All Kids...Poster Contest!
Document Actions
Turn your knowledge of snow leopards into great art that will help others learn about these amazing cats.
Use your artistic skills to help snow leopard conservation! In 2006,
our staff in India asked children to make paintings about their local
wildlife. Some of these paintings were turned into educational posters,
and distributed to 10 schools throughout India’s Spiti Valley.Now it’s your turn. We’re hosting a poster contest this summer with the theme Snow Leopards in the Wild. Turn what you know about snow leopards into great art that we can then use to help other kids learn about these amazing cats.
Check our website by mid-August to see our finalists, and help us vote for a winner!
The winner will receive a free snow leopard adoption (which includes your very own plush snow leopard), and all finalists will have their artwork put on display at our 2nd Annual International Snow Leopard Day event at Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo. We might even turn your artwork into postcards or other materials that help promote the Trust and snow leopard conservation—so stay tuned and make sure to check back.
