Museum's art contest

Howka brothers and sisters, I think this is a great opportunity for our youth to showcase their skills and win some money.


Museum's art contest focuses on natural world
BALBOA PARK: The San Diego Natural History Museum and several partners are promoting a competition that encourages young people to explore the outdoors.
The Get to Know Contest, inspired by wildlife artist Robert Bateman, is designed to increase environmental awareness among children 18 or younger by inviting them to submit works of art about the natural world.
Forests are the theme. Entries can include drawings, paintings, writings and photography.
Children must submit their work by Nov. 30. The winning entries will be published in the 2011 Robert Bateman Get to Know Contest Calendar, on the Get to Know Web site and through other contest partners.
Winners also will receive prizes and VIP invitations to special events.
