A partnership between the Illinois Conservation Foundation and Wildlife Forever
The Illinois Conservation Foundation (ICF) is proud to host the Illinois Fish Art Contest in collaboration with Wildlife Forever. This program uses art and writing to inspire K-12 students to learn about fish species, aquatic habitats, and conservation efforts.
Open to students across Illinois, the contest encourages creativity while fostering environmental stewardship. Participants submit hand-drawn artwork and an accompanying piece of writing, combining education, science, and art to create meaningful connections with nature.
