I ran across this contest and thought of all the talented people we have on Gather. Amazing photos and artwork are zipping around here all the time. There is a photo contest, but the deadline past so you have to wait until 2010. Below is the rules posted by the North American Butterfly Association. Please click to view the site and review further details.
Artists interested in entering the 2009 NABA Art Contest should submit high quality digital images (submitted on a CDR, CDW or DVD—attempted submission via email will result in disqualification) plus a color print out of original two-dimensional color "paintings," in any medium. If realistic, the painting should depict species found in Mexico, the U.S. or Canada. In your cover letter, you should indicate the dimensions of the original work, give a description of the medium of the work, and a release granting to NABA the one-time right to copy and publish the image. Please include a telephone number where you can be reached. Entries need to be received no later than May 1, 2009. Winning artist will receive a prize of $150, 2nd place winner will receive $50 and winners will have their works published in color in the Fall 2009 issue of American Butterflies. All decisions of the judges are final. Entries should be sent to: NABA, Butterfly Art Contest, 4 Delaware Road, Morristown, NJ 07960.
