The theme for 2008 is:
Marshy Migrations: Journeys of a Lifetime
- What animals migrate? Think outside the bird-box!
- why do animals make these seasonal trips?
- what will these wayfaring critters need along the way?
- what do these animals need to watch out for?
- what role do wetlands play in these journeys of a lifetime?
The challenge consists of two parts, Writing and Illustrating. Part one is the writing competition. Open to all students in Grades 7-9. Once the winning manuscript is chosen, a call for artists will be made inviting students in Grades K-6 to illustrate the story's words. |
