    The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is encouraging youth across the state in grades K-12 to submit their original artwork of any Tennessee native fish for the National Art of Conservation: Fish Art Contest. 

    The contest is free for participants to enter one 2D piece. All participants must enter original artwork of a Tennessee fish in a natural habitat and may not replicate another artist’s work. Photos or videos used as source material for inspiration of the artwork are allowed. Goldfish, guppies, bettas, and koi are not eligible for this contest.

    Additionally, TWRA has added a specialty award, The Bill Dance Signature Lakes Award – in honor of the legacy of fishing legend Bill Dance and the TWRA’s work to develop premier fishing destinations across the state. To be considered for the award, students should enter artwork of largemouth or smallmouth bass or art featuring bass fishing.

    All submissions must be entered through an online entry form. More information regarding rules, submission form, and requirements can be found on the Wildlife Forever Art of Conservation website. The last day for submitting artwork is February 28th, 2027.
