The Youth Contests for 2021-2022 close today!
Conococheague Audubon Society’s Youth Contests offer opportunities for young people to win a cash prize! Both our “Longest Bird Species List of the Year” and “Best Bird Photo of the Year” contests involve your love of nature and your keen observation skills. The contests will be judged in two different age groups – ages 5 to 15 and ages 16 to 18. See details on the Youth Contest page. The contests started last year on December 1, 2021 and end tonight, when you submit your entries at our regular meeting.
Please note: We need your parent’s/guardian’s permission for you to enter the contest and for us to report selected information about you to our members and the public. Your parent/guardian must also affirm your entries comply with the rules. So, be sure you have the completed necessary forms when you submit your entries.
