Chesapeake Bay Revival Coloring Contest

Schools within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed are invited to take part in the Chesapeake Bay Revival Coloring Contest. Students are encouraged to create an original piece of artwork that captures their own interpretation of the Chesapeake Bay and its issues, on a standard 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. The contest encourages a WILD imagination!

Participating schools may send only 1 submission package, with a maximum of 15 pictures. Schools may use their own means of selection to determine which pictures to submit. Each submission package must include all pictures intended to represent the school for their 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classes. All entries must include the school name, address, and phone number and each picture should include the name and grade of the young artist. This information can be written along the marked edges of the contest submission form. All submission packages must be received no later then December 15, 2011 and should be sent by physical mail to the following address:

The winning poster will be selected in March 2012 with input from contest sponsors: Donna Danielle McCartney (the author of the Nautical Mile Series), and members of the Chesapeake Conservation Corps, the Chesapeake Bay Trust, and the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. The winner and their school will win cash and prizes.
