Children up to and including age 18 may enter. (We no longer accept adult entries.)
Print out this form and TAPE the small label to the bottom right corner of the front of the image, and TAPE the larger form to the back of the image. (Do not use glue or rubber cement.) PLEASE PRINT NEATLY or type the information. Click here to see a video of how to properly label entries.
Entries that are not properly labeled will be disqualified.
Entries must be received by January 15, 2019. (Entries must be mailed; no email entries accepted.) Please allow adequate time for delivery, which can take as many as 3-4 weeks from some countries.
All entries with a legible email address will receive an emailed certificate of participation. Schools will receive one certificate to print out for each of the students. Due to the volume of entries we receive, the certificates are not customized with each child's name.
Limit one entry per person
Use enough postage, as "postage due" entries will not be accepted.
PRIZES: All properly labeled entries will be judged by area artists. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in each category will receive a mailed certificate. First prize winners in each catergory will receive a cash prize (paid through PayPal) as follows: 0-5 years: $20 USD; 6-9 years - $30 USD; 10-14 years - $40 USD; 15-18 years - $50 USD.
All entries become the property of the International Owl Center and cannot be returned due to the volume of entries received. They will be used to decorate the storefronts in Houston during the International Festival of Owls the first weekend in March, and may be sold or auctioned to raise funds to support the International Owl Center. Some will be kept for temporary or permanent display at the Owl Center.
Results will be posted on our public Facebook page in February or March.
